Should I rip or convert CD to MP3?
The answer is YES. Files with .mp3 extension are digitally encoded file formats for audio files that are formally based on the MPEG-1 Audio Layer III or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III. MP3 format is the most widely used audio format. Generally, when people rip CDs they’ll save the resulting audio track as an MP3 file. This makes the audio file very small (around 10% of its uncompressed size) allowing thousands of tracks to be stored on portable music players, smartphones, TVS, tablets, car audio, etc.
Why do people convert CD to lossless FLAC format?
FLAC is an open source audio compression format. The appeal of FLAC is in the fact that it does not lose any sound quality during compression, unlike other common audio compression formats like WMA or MP3, which shave off parts of the music to reduce the file size. While FLAC files are up to six times larger than an MP3, they are half the size of a CD, and can have the same boost in audio quality. In order to enjoy high-quality audio, FLAC is the best choice. However, the compatibility of this format is not very good. Mobile phones, tablet and automotive multimedia system (iDrive, MMI, UConnect, T-Connect, Honda CONNECT, MBUX, etc) generally do not support this format.
Why we need to convert CD to M4A?
M4A is a file extension for an audio file encoded with advanced audio coding (AAC) which is a lossy compression. It’s the native format of music sold through the iTunes store, and it’s the default for the music player on Apple’s iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. You can play an M4A song downloaded to your iOS devices or synchronized through iTunes on your PC. So for playing CD songs on Apple iOS devices, you’d better convert CD to M4A with Acrok Free CD Ripper.
