02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • Constant and variable bitrate MP3 files of any length 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
  • Title, artist and album tags are carried over

Good to know

  • Embedded cover art is not carried over. Only the sound is converted.
  • 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.

MP3 vs FLAC

MP3

An MP3 file is the most common compressed audio format — small file size, works everywhere, though it loses some audio quality in the process. It's what you'll get from most music downloads, podcasts, and voice 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.
