Frequently asked questions
Will converting FLAC to MP3 damage my audio archive?+
Only if you discard the original FLAC. Always keep your FLAC archive and create MP3 as a working or distribution copy. The FLAC-to-MP3 conversion is a one-way lossy process — you cannot return to FLAC quality from an MP3.
What is the best MP3 bitrate for music converted from FLAC?+
320 kbps CBR or VBR V0 is the standard for high-quality music. These are the bitrates used for 'vinyl rips' and high-quality music stores. At 320 kbps, most listeners on quality headphones cannot distinguish the MP3 from the original FLAC in blind tests.
Does converting FLAC to MP3 keep the album artwork and tags?+
Yes — JAD preserves ID3 v2.3/2.4 tags including title, artist, album, track number, year, and embedded album artwork during conversion. If the FLAC file uses Vorbis comment tags, these are mapped to their ID3 equivalents automatically.
