How to convert M4A to FLAC on Win 11? Is there an easy way?

    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.

    You can check this tutorial: (worked great for me)

Converting M4A to FLAC in Windo with Aud0city? Even though Aud0city is user-friendly for audio editing, the conversion process involves navigating through menus, which can be a bit intimidating if you're not used to audio editing software. If you're looking for something quick and easy, this might not be your best bet. Aud0city can be a bit resource-heavy, especially if you're working with larger files. On a mid-range Windows 11 machine, you might notice some lag or slower performance, particularly if you've got a ton of other applications running.

If you’ve got a pile of M4A files you want to convert to FLAC, Aud0city isn’t the best for that. You'd have to convert files one by one, which can be a drag if you're in a hurry. While having control over the export settings is nice, it can be a bit overwhelming if you’re not an audio geek. If you just want a quick conversion without fussing over bitrates and other settings, this could be a headache.

As i know: The initial setup can be a bit of a hassle. You need to download not just Aud0city but also the FFMpag library to get M4A support working. It's not as straightforward as clicking “install” and being done with it.
