FLAC to MP3 Converter

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open-source audio format that compresses audio without any loss in quality. It is ideal for audiophiles, music archiving, and professional audio storage. FLAC files are much smaller than uncompressed WAVs while preserving the exact original sound. The format supports rich metadata, fast seeking, and is compatible with many players and platforms. FLAC is widely used in music distribution where fidelity is paramount.

MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) is the most popular audio format for digital music. It uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file size while maintaining audio quality acceptable for casual listening. MP3 is supported by virtually all devices and software, making it ideal for music distribution, streaming, and storage. Its widespread use and compatibility have made MP3 the global standard for portable audio, even with the rise of newer, higher-fidelity formats.
