Frequently Asked Questions

What is FLAC format?

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open-source lossless audio format that compresses audio without any quality loss. It's widely supported by audiophile equipment and offers better compression than WAV or AIFF.

Will converting OGG to FLAC improve quality?

No. OGG Vorbis is a lossy format, so quality is already reduced from the original. Converting to FLAC creates a lossless container but cannot restore lost quality. However, FLAC prevents further quality loss and is ideal for archiving.

What is OGG Vorbis?

OGG Vorbis is a free, open-source, patent-free lossy audio compression format. Both OGG and FLAC are open-source formats, making them excellent choices for open-source projects and avoiding patent concerns.

What compression level should I use?

Level 5 (default) offers balanced compression and speed. Level 8 provides maximum compression for archiving. Level 0 is fastest. All levels preserve identical audio quality - they only affect file size and encoding time.

How much larger will FLAC files be?

FLAC files from OGG sources will be larger since FLAC stores the decoded audio losslessly. A 5 MB OGG may become 20-30 MB as FLAC. The benefit is no further quality loss and modern open-source format compatibility.
