    I’ve been there — online converters always mess with the quality. I use AudioKiees, super easy to batch convert M4A to FLAC without losing sound quality.

Converting M4A to FLAC on Windows 11 can be pretty straightforward, but don’t just grab any random converter you find online. Some apps might mess with your audio quality or even pack in unwanted bloatware. Stick to trusted tools.

When you fire up your converter, make sure you check the settings! Not tweaking the output settings can lead to disappointing results, like not taking advantage of FLAC’s lossless capabilities. Set the output correctly to preserve quality—FLAC is all about that high-fidelity sound.

Before you start converting, it’s super smart to back up your original M4A files. Sometimes conversions can go south due to glitches or mismatches, and you don’t want to lose your precious music in the process. Some converters can be pretty resource-heavy. Keep an eye on your system’s performance while the conversion is going on. If your PC is lagging, consider closing unnecessary applications to free up resources.
