FLAC VS MP3
FLAC - 1.FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio coding format for lossless compression of digital audio. So music in FLAC format keeps all the audio quality of the original source.
- 2.Audio sources encoded to FLAC are typically reduced to 50%~70% of their original size, so it’s an ideal choice to archive music in FLAC music.
- 3.Since FLAC is a lossless audio format, it’s highly suitable for transcoding. Whether you want to convert it to another lossless audio format, such as WMA, or lossy format like MP3, no quality will be lost and it can be done numerous times if needed.
- 4.Even though FLAC format is more and more popular today, it’s not playable in all portable devices.
MP3 - 1.MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III) is a coding format for digital audio. It uses lossy data-compression to encode data. So its audio quality is not so good as FLAC.
- 2.Music in MP3 format allows a large reduction in the file sizes compared to uncompressed audio format.
- 3.MP3 is not suitable for transcoding, because itself is a lossy format, if you convert MP3 to other format, more data will be lost.
- 4.MP3 format is the most popular audio format, so it’s compatible with almost all devices.
