Do AAC files use lossy or lossless compression?
Converting AAC to MP3 can potentially result in a loss of audio quality, but it depends on several factors. When you convert from AAC to MP3, you're essentially compressing an already compressed file, which might lead to further quality degradation. If you choose a high bit rate and quality settings, the loss may be minimal and not noticeable to most listeners. Leverage Flixier’s audio enhancement feature to improve sound quality.
What are the disadvantages of an AAC file?
While AAC is an efficient audio codec, there are some disadvantages that you should consider:
- High resource consumption: AAC files demand extra processing power when it comes to decoding and playback, and this might be a challenge for some devices.
- Less compatibility: AAC is not one of the most popular formats, meaning that you should consider converting it to one of the better-known file formats.
- Lossy format: By default, AAC is a lossy and compressed audio format, meaning that you would not benefit from the same quality as with FLAC or WAV files.
Does AAC compress audio?
AAC is indeed a lossy format, and therefore compresses some of the audio data. However, this shouldn’t be a problem if you choose to improve the sound quality using Flixier’s audio enhancer.
What's the difference between AAC and MP3?
AAC files are smaller and sound better thanks to newer technology, but MP3s work on basically any device you own. If what you need is universal compatibility, pick MP3. If, on the other hand, you prefer higher quality audio and smaller size, then AAC is your friend.
Can I convert other audio formats with Flixier?
Absolutely. We support WAV, MP4, and tons of other formats. Converting them to MP3 works the same simple way.
Can I edit my audio while converting it?
Yep! You can trim, mix, add effects, and clean up your audio all before you convert to MP3. It's all done in one place.
