Many people work with FLAC files on a daily basis. FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. A FLAC file is a convenient option for users who want to compress an audio file without losing the sound quality. The compression makes the file about 50% smaller than the original FLAC file used for streaming. The real-time decoding is done very fast. FLAC includes several file data integrity checks. FLAC files are free and they are offered to the users under an open source license. That’s why they are called “Free” and “Lossless”. Their quality is substantially better than the quality of AAC and MP3 files. FLAC files seem to be an ideal option since they sound better and need less storage space.
However, only a few contemporary audio devices support FLAC files. For many years, the device has been using the MP3 format and don’t seem to be ready to change the approach anytime soon. That’s where FLAC to MP3 converters come in. If you need an MP3 file not because you are ready to lose quality but because you just don’t have the means to play FLAC, the converter can save the day. The end product might not be as well sounding as the file you started with, but you’ll have the opportunity to play it on the device you own.
However, the app can process popular formats, such as OGG, MP3, AAC, MP4, MOV, MKV, WAV, and so on. Review the video content and cut or trim the unwanted sequences Within the LosslessCut main window you get to play the entire video and review its content. Though it’s a video player, VLC supports FLAC audio files too. Forget about other players, this. ALAC, short for Apple Lossless Audio Codec (or simply Apple Lossless), is a data compression method which reduces the size of the audio files with no loss of information for archiving.Basically, audios compressed in ALAC is stored in a M4A container. It's proprietary of Apple Inc that widely supported on iTunes, iPhone, iPad, Mac and most iPods.

How to Download and Use the FLAC to MP3 MAC software
- Go to https://flactomp3mac.com/ and click the light blue button “download now”. If you can’t open the downloaded file, check if you allowed the “Allow applications downloaded from Mac App Store and identified developers” option.
- Open the application and choose the output audio format (the format you want to get after the conversion). MP3 is set there by default.
- Set audio options, such as MP3 audio bitrate, rate, and channel. You can use the default options. Without selecting the options, you won’t be able to proceed.
- Now you have to choose the output path. This is the place where you want to save the converted files. The “original folder” is set by default. Accordingly, if you don’t make changes, the converted file will be saved to the same folder as the original FLAC file. If you want to change the folder, select “Customize the Output Path” and choose a suitable folder for saving.
- You can drag the FLAC files to the application for conversion. Alternatively, click the app image to add files. If you chose “Original Folder”, the conversion will begin as soon as the files are added without further warning. If you chose “Customize the Output Path,” the program will request you to specify the folder.
Smart tip: Dragging and dropping several files into the application can help you achieve multi-conversion.
- Wait several seconds until the progress bar runs out. The conversion is complete and you can find the converted files in the designated folder.

Thank you MediaHuman - you are the only fast and reliable WMA to MP3 converter I've found - you just made my life a whole lot easier! Janine Charles
I have been using SoundConverter on my OSX-Lion iMac but it wasn't doing a satisfactory job on FLAC files. MediaHuman is fast and does two files at once! Superior to SoundConverter! Mark S Ver Steeg
The audio converter app works perfectly-i finally found a freeware to convert FLAC to Apple lossless and keep the tags. Branden Baxley

Hey! The software is awesome. It took me so long to find an audio converter that wasnt crammed full of useless, superfluous features that I couldn't possible care about. Euan
Wanted to convert some audio files. Used MediaHuman today after struggling with several other apps and tools for the past 4 days. Gosh! Can't tell you what a relief it is to get the job done so easily as I had thousands of sound clips. Thank you guys!!! Divya Raghuram
I am converting thousands of iTunes files to .ogg so I can take my show on the road with Traktor. UR the only 1 that works! DJ-KT
Thanks for the fantastic audio converter! I have a number of AACs that I needed to make to MP3 and this is doing it perfectly... thanks again! Dustin Hamilton
First of all, I love your audio converter. I have used it to successfully convert most of my FLAC collection to ALAC in order for it to be playable on my Ipod. It's all quite intuitive, I love it! Rory
I just wanted to thank you for this software's existence - I used to use QuickTime 7 (and it was clunky!) to convert audio, but when Apple made it slightly harder to get QuickTime Pro I sought out MediaHuman Audio Converter, and have never looked back. It's saved me plenty of times. Thanks! Josh W.
That is a truly great product, much better than Switch, which I thought too expensive to pay for. I know it is freeware, but couldn't resist a small donation when I saw how beautifully written the software was. Thank you. Jim S.
I have been using your product for a couple years now. I just wanted to tell you folks how much I like it. It is absolutely my goto software for any media conversion. I don't have any money to contribute, but I wanted you guys to know how much I appreciate your software. Thank you very much. Mathew M.
The best WMA to MP3 converter, period. I have more than 10Gb of WMA files to convert to MP3. Your software is just making it a breeze. Having struggled with all the major 'recommended' freewares available, I can say without a doubt that yours is just the best for the task. Many thanks from France. Arnaud
Hi Folks, I just wanted to let you know that your Audioconverter is truly excellent. The GUI is simple and selfexplaining, very clever! Also thanks for implmenting CBR at 320kbps. I converted AIFF files to mp3 and they sound much better than converted with my old iTunes. The mp3s sound loud, clear, fresh and have a punchy bass. Heavy recommendation guaranteed :-) Ernst M.
I just want to congratulate you for the MediaHuman Audio Converter. Variety of choices for audio quality, file extension type and multiple cpu core choice. And checkbox for adding to iTunes while converting. Genius. You saved me from hours of waiting. Well done. Maximos H.
I have to say that this converter, is by far THEE best i have ever used. i had to use this in exchange for the built in iTunes converter because it would chop songs into 0:23 seconds after they were converted and that obviously wasn't the whole song. your converter has done its justice to the shitty apple conversion and hence, why i'm writing this review because it's so damn fast AND it also converts as many files as needed with no ads or requiring a license! it's truly and awesome freeware program!! :) Nic

Downloaded this morning to convert a batch of files, 680+, from WMA to MP3. As a bit of background I started developing software over 40 years ago, which makes me rather picky about how software works. Just wanted to let you know that I am more than pleasantly surprised, this is a great piece of software. I had spent about 3 hours trying other products prior to finding yours, and by far yours is the most full featured and easy to use. Just wanted to drop you a 'thank you', I was looking for a place to leave a review for you, please let me know if there is a place you would like me to leave one. Thanks! Bill D.
MediaHuman Audio Converter is brilliant. It's so good to find really well developed software - so intuitive and therefore a pleasure to use. I've been looking at audio converters for a while now and not found anything that comes even close to your great product. I've been involved in software development all my life and rarely see software that gets the user's experience 'just right' Audio Converter does exactly that. Congratulations. John
