02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • Raw AAC (ADTS) streams with the .aac extension are supported
  • Saved as FLAC, which keeps the audio exactly as decoded, in a file usually about half the size of WAV
  • Sample rate, channels and 24-bit depth are kept

Good to know

  • Raw AAC files carry no title, artist or album tags, so there is nothing to copy over.
  • The source is already compressed with quality loss. FLAC keeps it exactly as it is, it does not bring back what was lost, and the file gets much bigger.

AAC vs FLAC

AAC

An AAC file is a compressed audio format similar to MP3 but with better sound quality at the same bitrate. It's the standard for streaming audio, YouTube, and most modern devices' default recordings.

Used in: Streaming audio · YouTube · Modern device recordings

FLAC

A FLAC file compresses audio without losing any quality (lossless) — smaller than WAV, but still identical to the original when played back. The go-to format for audiophiles and music archiving.
