    MP3 vs FLAC

    FLAC is lossless, but it can't restore detail already removed by MP3's compression — the file just gets bigger. Convert when an app or editor requires FLAC.

    About MP3 and FLAC

    MP3: MP3 is the most widely supported audio format in the world. It uses lossy compression to make music and voice files small enough to share, while keeping quality good enough for everyday listening.

    FLAC: FLAC is an open lossless format that shrinks audio to 50–60% of WAV size without losing any quality. It is the favourite format of audiophiles and hi-res music stores.
