Description
FLAC, or Free Lossless Audio Codec, files contain digital audio. FLAC files utilize lossless quality, meaning that there is no loss of any original sound data. When compared to MP3 (lossy audio format), FLAC files are generally larger. Nonetheless, FLAC’s lossless compression algorithm can reduce audio by up to 70%, and still be able to reproduce the original audio afterwards. The format is royalty-free.Common questions about converting MP3 to FLAC
