Convert FLAC to AAC

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.

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is a digital audio file format designed to provide superior sound quality and compression efficiency compared to older formats like MP3. Developed in the late 1990s by a consortium of companies, including Fraunhofer IIS, Dolby, and Sony, AAC has become the standard audio format for various platforms, including Apple's iTunes and YouTube. It is widely used in streaming, broadcasting, and multimedia applications due to its ability to deliver high-fidelity audio at lower bit rates, making it ideal for bandwidth-constrained environments.
