Why convert FLAC to AAC?
FLAC is an open-source lossless audio format that compresses files by 30–60% with zero quality loss. It's the favorite of audiophiles and music archivists who want CD-quality sound without the bulk of WAV. AAC is the successor to MP3, offering better sound quality at the same bitrate. It's the default format for iTunes, YouTube, and most streaming services — a sweet spot between size and fidelity. Converting from FLAC to AAC is useful when you need apple music and itunes libraries or want to take advantage of better quality than mp3 at the same bitrate.
