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!

Hasopenflac2all is free but it is not suitable for beginners. First, setting up and using flac2all requires familiarity with the command line and Python. Beginners may find the configuration and usage process daunting, especially when dealing with dependencies like LAME or FAAC.

flac2all is command-line only, which may not appeal to users who prefer GUI-based tools. Managing batch conversions or setting advanced options can be tedious without visual tools.

And Python must be installed and properly configured on the system to run flac2all for converting .flac to .m4a on Windows 11. Users unfamiliar with Python may face difficulties during installation or compatibility issues.
