How can I convert flac to mp3 on my computer?
I recently downloaded some music files in FLAC format and planned to play them on my car music player. But my car player only supports MP3 format, so I need to convert these FLAC to MP3. I have about...
One of the key settings during conversion is the bitrate. If you choose a too-low bitrate, you'll end up with lousy sound quality that's super frustrating, especially if you’re normally listening to high-fidelity FLAC files. And make sure you’re actually converting FLAC to MP3 and not some other format by mistake. Also, pay attention to the sample rate—if you're converting for a specific device, it might have specific needs.
When I first converted some music, I picked a low bitrate (like 128 kbps) thinking I’d save space. Later, I regretted it because the audio quality sounded flat and muddy compared to the original. Aim for at least 192 kbps or higher for decent quality.
