MP3 uses lossy compression to reduce file size. FLAC preserves the original audio data without loss, making it useful for archival listening.
Understand the format trade-off
For everyday portable listening, a well-encoded MP3 may be sufficient. For long-term collections and lossless playback, FLAC is often preferable.
What to keep in mind
Choose formats based on device support, available storage and the source quality. Converting a low-quality MP3 to FLAC cannot restore missing audio detail.
