02 / what you get
What happens to your data
Kept
- Sample rate and channels (mono, stereo, even 5.1 surround) are read as they are
- Hi-res FLAC files (24-bit, 96 kHz) are supported
- Saved as uncompressed 16-bit WAV with the original sample rate and channels
- Title, artist and album tags are carried over
Good to know
- WAV files are big, about 10 MB per minute for CD-quality stereo.
- A 24-bit hi-res file is reduced to 16-bit in the WAV. Choose FLAC to keep 24-bit.
- Embedded cover art is not carried over. Only the sound is converted.

FLAC vs WAV
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.
Used in: Music archiving · Audiophile listening · High-quality downloads
WAV
A WAV file stores audio completely uncompressed — full quality, but large file sizes. It's the standard for professional audio editing, recording, and mastering, where quality matters more than size.
Used in: Audio editing & mastering · Professional recording · Sound design
