and keep them sounding the same or near the same ( AAC to MP3 you lose some data ). The data just wont be there to do anything.īut you can convert a good mp3 that is bad ( ~corrupted~ ) to a fixed mp3, or an AAC file to an MP3. But you can never take a crappy lets say 128bpp/s MP3 and convert it to a FLAC file and automatically have it sounding better. If you have a FLAC file you can easily convert it to a MP3 file and make the MP3 file sound good enough. You can always Downgrade an Audio File but you can never really upgrade an audio file. So lets say you have a Lossless M4A file from lets say ITunes but you want to play it here but are like me and do not want to install QuickTime convert it to FLAC. You can always change a lossless format to any other lossless format without losing any quality. LOSSY but small you can have a great sounding mp3 and 192vbr ( Variable Bit Rate ) but it will not compare to an AAC or FLAC type.įor most people though MP3 is more then enough. A properly ripped AAC file in 256bp/s the human ear will almost 99.99999% of the time will never be able to tell the difference. Then you will get the next best option files like AAC, ( M4a) is great because its near lossless but much better compression.
But that is the price you pay for full quality. The downside to a FLAC type files, they are large. You are not missing any highs mids or lows. What I mean by a proper source file is that FLAC and other like it are a LOSSLESS codec, meaning that all the authors original audio for that song is in that file.
If you have a FLAC type file from a proper source such as you ripped it from a CD you own, or you Bought it Online you have a proper source file. The most import thing though is what the quality of that audio file is. When we have audio on our computer they can come in nearly any format. Using a codec like MP3 is good for fast easy decent compression but this day and age AAC is much better in every shape and form.īut there are fees to pay when you use some things like AAC+ or MP3-Pro the list can go on.īut I am only going to give you some info that you will need for this guide. While audio codec can be a pain in the rump they can have some great advantages and disadvantages.
