XConvert Audio Converter handles all major audio formats in both directions:
| Format | Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| MP3 | Lossy | Universal playback, sharing, streaming |
| WAV | Uncompressed | Audio editing, music production, CD burning |
| FLAC | Lossless | Archival, audiophile listening, lossless backup |
| AAC | Lossy | Apple devices, better quality than MP3 at same bitrate |
| OGG | Lossy | Web streaming, open-source projects |
| M4A | Lossy/Lossless | Apple ecosystem, iTunes, iPhone ringtones |
| WMA | Lossy | Windows Media Player compatibility |
| AIFF | Uncompressed | Mac audio editing, Logic Pro |
| OPUS | Lossy | VoIP, streaming, excellent quality at low bitrates |
MP3 for maximum compatibility — plays on every device. FLAC for lossless quality — no data lost. AAC for Apple devices — better quality than MP3 at the same file size. WAV for audio editing — uncompressed, no quality loss.
Converting from lossy to lossy (e.g., MP3 to AAC) causes additional quality loss. Converting from lossless to lossy (FLAC to MP3) loses some quality but only once. Converting from lossy to lossless (MP3 to WAV) does not restore lost quality.
320kbps for near-CD quality. 192kbps for excellent quality at smaller size. 128kbps for good quality, standard for streaming. 64kbps for speech and podcasts.
