Frequently Asked Questions

What bitrate should I use for FLAC to MP3?
Since FLAC is lossless, you have the best possible source material. Use 320 kbps for near-transparent quality, 256 kbps for an excellent balance, or 192 kbps if storage is a concern. The MP3 will sound better than converting from any lossy source.
Can I hear the difference between FLAC and 320 kbps MP3?
Most listeners cannot distinguish between FLAC and 320 kbps MP3 in blind tests with typical listening equipment. Differences may be detectable with high-end audiophile gear and trained ears, but for everyday listening the quality is virtually identical.
Should I keep my original FLAC files after converting?
Yes, always keep your original FLAC files as a lossless archive. You can always re-encode from FLAC to any format in the future, but you cannot recover lossless quality once you only have an MP3 copy.
