About FLAC files
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) shrinks audio with nothing lost: played back, it's identical to the original. Music stores such as Bandcamp offer FLAC downloads, and many people rip their CDs to it. It's smaller than WAV but still several times bigger than an MP3.
Apple's Music app on a Mac doesn't import FLAC, and some car stereos and older players can't play it. An MP3 plays on all of them. Keep the FLAC files as your originals, and make MP3s from them when you need them.
Questions
Which bitrate should I pick?
From FLAC, the MP3 is made at 192 kbps, which most people can't tell from the original. For the most detail, pick 320 kbps under More options: it's the highest bitrate MP3 has.
Can I get M4A for my iPhone instead?
Yes. Pick M4A to get AAC sound, which Apple devices play and which usually sounds a little better than MP3 at the same size.
Will the music stay as loud?
Yes. The MP3 matches the FLAC's level. A track mastered right up to the top is brought just under it, so the MP3 never clips.
Is it free?
Yes, for the first hour of each file, 10 times a day, with no sign-up. For longer files, see pricing.
How big will the MP3 be?
At 192 kbps, about 1.4 MB a minute, so a four-minute song comes to roughly 6 MB.
Can I turn FLAC into WAV instead?
Yes. Pick WAV under Convert to. The WAV holds exactly the same sound, uncompressed, for apps that don't open FLAC.
Is FLAC better than MP3?
For keeping, yes: FLAC loses nothing, so it's the better original. For playing and sharing, MP3 wins, because it's small and works almost everywhere.
What happens to my files?
They stay private. Files are deleted after 24 hours, and free results after 1 hour.
