The best audio converter that supports mp3, flac, m4a, wav and ogg?

Here are some common pitfalls to watch out for when using a best audio converter on Windows. Sometimes, I forget to tweak the bitrate or quality settings, and end up with a file that's either way too big or surprisingly low quality. Always double-check your output preferences, especially if you care about preserving sound fidelity.

This is a no-go if you want the best quality. Repeatedly converting files between lossy formats will degrade the sound. If you can, convert to a lossless format (like FLAC) first, then to your target format. I used to lose all my song info—like artist, album, track number—after conversion. Make sure the best audio converter supports copying or preserving metadata, or you’ll have a bunch of files with no info.

Some devices or players may not support certain formats or specific settings. Check what your target device can handle before converting. After converting, give the new file a quick listen. I’ve sometimes gone through all that effort, only to find out the audio quality was terrible or the file was corrupted.
