This is a bit off topic, but still music related.

Can anyone recommend a free app for IOS that will convert FLAC files to MP3. I've tried a couple but in the end, they all want money.

PS. I lost all of my vinyl in a house fire back in 1988. I had a pretty large collection of mostly classic rock stuff. I still haven't gotten over losing everything.

Don't know if they have what you want, but try SourceForge.Net - A trusted source for freeware.

I use Switch by NCH software but I paid for it.  If you are doing one off songs, you could probably do it with Audacity by opening the FLAC file and saving it as an MP3 file.  I think you can do batches of songs too, but I have never tried it. Audacity is free.  I use it to rip vinyl to digital for archiving and playing on portable MP3 players.

I can't help you with your original question, but looking at your collection of memorabelia I wouldn't be surprised if we were at some of the same shows or more likely some of the same tours.  I still have some of my vinyl from the 80's, but my older brother sold off his collection in the 90's and while I wasn't looking he included some from my collection.  This always bothered me, of course I didn't like finding out some of my vinyl was sold, but if I had not been away at college when he sold his stuff I would have kept most if not all of it.

We grew up in the Washington, DC suburbs and owned all of the early Dischord releases on vinyl.  Quite a lot of music from New York, Boston, and California too.

I drifted away from punk in the late 80's and early 90's when most of the bands drifted away from hardcore.  I now mostly listen to ska, but I still like to spin some old hardcore from time to time, but when I do it's usually on new vinyl instead of the originals.

I listen to 2 Tone ska and a little big of the 3rd wave stuff.  Some of those original Dischord releases are worth some big money on Discogs.  I have been trying to buy a lot of reissues on 180gm vinyl where it is available.

Got any Dead Milkmen in your collection? I remember stealing that cassette from my sister all the time when I was little. That is what I think of when I think "punk", but I really actually don't know what bands would be punk.

For the last 20 years or so, I pretty much listen to mellow tunes only. My neighbors used to call me "DJ mortuary" when I would get run of the Bluetooth speaker.

Current faves:
Jason Isbell
John Moreland
Dead Horses
Leon Bridges
Mandolin Orange
Caamp

When I listen to older stuff it's in the Jackson Browne ,Van Morrison type stuff.

Dead Milkmen are considered punk, but I am not a big fan other than the songs Bitchin' Camaro and Punk Rock Girl.

I saw them live at a festival about 10 or so years ago, and left the venue to go eat some horrible hamburgers they were selling outside.
