FLAC Converter

Audio files come under quite the variety of formats, some which got better over the years for greater quality, and some which can only be read by particular players or devices. As such, you might encounter situations in which conversion is required. For instance, FLAC Converter allows you to easily turn various audio files into FLAC.

First of all, you need to go through a setup process to make the application work, but you can also deploy it on a thumb drive in case you want to use it on other computers. This is possible because registry entries are not modified in the process, so you can rest assured that the health status of the target PC remains intact.

The name is quite intuitive, and by the end of an operation you get your favorite audio files under the FLAC format. As far as supported input files go, you have quite the liberty of adding a variety of audio formats such as MP3, WAV, AAC, WMA, M4A, AC3, MP4, 3GP, WMV, MOV, AVI, DIVX, MPG, FLV, MKV, and VOB.

Loading can’t be done through a drag and drop operation, so you need to rely on the browse dialog, but it can be used to target multiple files at a time. Items are then enlisted in a large section, which allows you to remove some entries, in case you changed your mind. Needless to say that you must specify a save location for your files.

Before the process commences, you can adjust the output quality from a drop-down menu, which also lets you keep the same quality. There’s also the possibility to manually set output bitrate. Original files are left intact, with no possibility to remove them. When done, a prompt shows up to let you know.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that FLAC Converter is a pretty straightforward audio conversion tool. It supports an impressive variety of formats for input, and even though the name is clear enough, it could have used more formats for conversion.
