What changes when you convert OGG to FLAC?
FLAC avoids another lossy compression step, but it cannot recover audio detail already discarded by the OGG source. The file may also become larger.
- Add multiple audio files and use the available codec, trim, volume, fade and reverse controls.
- Open the finished FLAC file and check fine details, layout and compatibility in the app where you plan to use it.
