Need help converting FLAC to m4a on Windows 11! Any recommendations?

When I was organizing my hard drive recently, I found a bunch of lossless music files, but they were all in FLAC format. Since I mainly use Apple devices, these FLAC files cannot be played directly. ...

    Had the same issue with a ton of FLAC files that wouldn’t play on my Apple devices—so annoying. Found AudioKes on Windows 11, and honestly, it saved me. Batch converted everything to ALAC perfectly, no quality loss, and super simple to use.

    I followed this guide:

    Definitely worth a try!

Windows 11 does not come with a tool for converting FLAC to M4A. However there are a couple of free FLAC to M4A converters avaialble.

flac2all is a Python-based script designed for converting FLAC audio files into other formats such as MP3, M4A, or Ogg. It is particularly useful for batch conversions and includes features to maintain metadata (tags) during the conversion process.

You can use this simple command to convert flac to m4a on any Windows PC:

python flac2all.py -o m4a input.flac

If you're comfortable with command-line tools and Python, flac2all is a flexible and powerful choice for audio conversion tasks.
