For a smooth conversion, use tools, such as XRECODE3 or Bigasoft Audio Converter, which allow users to import ALAC audio and export it in FLAC format.

Both formats are lossless so the quality should not be reduced.

Understanding ALAC and FLAC file formats

ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio coding format developed by Apple Inc. for lossless data compression of digital music. It is designed to provide high-quality audio without any loss of data, making it a popular choice for Apple users who want to maintain the integrity of their music files.

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is another lossless audio format that compresses audio files without any loss of quality. It is widely used due to its open-source nature and compatibility with various devices and platforms, making it a preferred choice for audiophiles and music enthusiasts.
