FLAC to WMA?

Is there a program (ideally free) which will let me convert directly
from FLAC to WMA please?

I've only recently come across these FLAC types, and have obtained
FLAC FrontEnd to decode them. But that results in WAV files, which I
then have to convert to WMA with GoldWave.
 
dBPowerAMP would be my first guess for a free one. I would bet it supports
FLAC.

Thanks, just installed it (plus the extra CODEC needed for FLAC). It
will undoubtedly prove useful anyway. But I see my post was careless!
Subject should have been 'FLAC to WMA?' (as per text). Unfortunately
it seems dbpoweramp can convert FLAC to MP3 but not WMA, so I'll still
need that extra step in GoldWave.

Anyone know a *direct* FLAC to WMA converter please?

The program should both decode and encode both formats

Thanks. As I said, I'm a novice in this area, so 'codecs' are
something of a black art to me. I'm downloading from that page yopu
kindly recommended what I *think* is an appropriate add-on for the
dbPoweramp converter program I installed earlier today. But I note it
says "Decodes .wma, .wmv, .asf". That seems ambiguous to me. Does it
decode TO WMA, as I need (i.e. from FLAC to WMA)? Or decode FROM
WMA...?

I'll soon find out, of course, but a reasuring reply would be
appreciated!
 
There site say it decodes and encodes both formats. So you can DEcode the
FLAC file and ENcode it to WMA.
