About ALAC
ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) is Apple's lossless compression format. It stores audio perfectly — no data is removed — but it is tied to Apple's ecosystem. ALAC is natively supported in iTunes, Apple Music, and iOS, but requires third-party software on Android, Windows, and Linux.
About FLAC
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open, royalty-free lossless format. It plays natively on Android, Linux, VLC, Windows Media Player (Windows 10+), foobar2000, and most modern audio players. FLAC achieves similar compression ratios to ALAC with broader platform support.
When to convert ALAC to FLAC
ALAC and FLAC are both lossless — converting between them involves no quality loss at all. The audio content before and after conversion is bit-for-bit identical. The reason to convert is platform compatibility: if you have an ALAC music library and want it to play on Android, Windows without iTunes, or a non-Apple hi-fi device, FLAC is the more widely supported alternative. This is a pure container swap — same quality, better reach.
