Convert CAF to FLAC

The CAF (Core Audio Format) file extension is a flexible, high-performance file format for storing audio data developed by Apple Inc. and introduced with Mac OS X 10.4 to the market. It supports a wide range of audio formats, enabling efficient audio recording, editing, and playback. CAF files are widely used in professional audio environments due to their support for 64-bit audio file offsets, allowing them to accommodate audio files of virtually unlimited size, making them ideal for long recordings and high-quality sound samples. They also support metadata, enabling the storage of additional information about the audio content.

FLAC, or Free Lossless Audio Codec, is a widely utilized audio format offering lossless compression, meaning it retains the original audio quality while reducing file size. Originating in 2001, FLAC has become a standard for high-fidelity audio archiving and distribution, favored for its open-source nature, ensuring broad compatibility and extensive support in various software and devices. It is extensively used by audiophiles, musicians, and professionals seeking optimal audio quality without the large file sizes associated with uncompressed formats like WAV.
