About this tool
FLAC is perfect for keeping music without any loss, but the files are large and plenty of places refuse them: many car stereos, older MP3 players, some phone apps and Apple Music. Converting a track to MP3 makes it a fraction of the size and playable everywhere.
Choose 320 kbps if you want an MP3 that sounds as close to the FLAC as the format allows; in a casual listen most people cannot tell them apart. 192 kbps is a good space-saver for phones. A typical four-minute FLAC track of 25 to 35 MB fits within the 50 MB limit. The conversion runs on our server with FFmpeg after you agree to the upload, and files are deleted within 30 minutes.
