Free Audio Converter for Windows convert MP3, FLAC, M4A & more (2025)

Audio conversion frequently asked questions:

Which format should I choose for conversion?

It depends on what you want to achieve. If you can't play your audio file, converting it to a compatible format will make your day. You need to check the player's specifications. Then convert your file to the supported format. If your idea is to reduce file storage, then converting to a lossy format like MP3 is what you should try.

Why do people usually choose MP3 to convert to?

MP3s are easier to share. They are more likely to play on your device without compatibility issues. People prefer to convert music to MP3 when they want to listen to it in the car, on the phone, etc. It's also a good format for saving audio files on devices with limited storage capacity. Although lossless audio offers better sound quality, such files are too large.

Does converting audio change the sound quality?

You can't get better audio quality after conversion, that's the truth. But you can choose a suitable format for conversion that doesn't make this difference noticeable. For example, there's no point in converting lossy to lossless, MP3 to WMA or FLAC. Converting lossy formats to lossless will increase the file size without improving the audio quality. Converting WMA or FLAC to MP3 makes sense if you convert at the highest possible bitrate to minimise the difference in sound quality.

Can I convert M4A to MP3?
