How to Convert FLAC to M4A for free without Hassle

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio file format for the lossless compression of data. Lossless compression means compressing data into smaller file size without a loss in audio quality. Its compression ratio ranges from 50 to 60% of its original file size.

FLAC is well used for recordings and archiving because it supports audio tags, album art, and embedded CUE sheets. The source code is open and easily licensed, that’s why it is well supported by different software.

However, its playback on various devices is limited and some popular players such as iTunes and Apple Quicktime Player don’t support this format without third-party plugins. To be able to use these players, you need to convert FLAC to other supported formats like M4A.

VideoPower BLUE or ZEUS is one of the best free FLAC to M4A converters that you can use for the conversion. It has a user-friendly interface that makes the conversion fast and easy. Also, it offers a variety of useful and professional features which makes the software very flexible.

To import your FLAC file, just click on the “Add files” button or you can drag-and-drop the file directly to the interface.

After the file is imported, it will be added automatically to your file displayed list.

If you need to edit the audio file before the conversion, follow the instructions below.

Click the “Edit” button located at the bottom right of your file from the displayed file list.

The built-in audio editor will pop up in which you can use to make audio enhancements. You can adjust the speed & volume or add trim to your audio. There are only a few changes needed for audio editing.

For example, you can trim your audio as shown below:

1) In the audio editor, click the “Add Trim Marker” button on the area that you want to trim.
2) You can adjust the trim marker by dragging the mark on the portion you wanted to trim.
3) Set the “Preferences” to “Keep the selected section” if you want to keep the part where you put the trim marker or “Delete the selected section” if you want to delete it.
4) Click “OK” to save the setting.

You can also add multiple trim markers to multiple areas of the audio. See the example below.

Just click the “Add Trim Marker” button several times to the areas that you want to trim.

Before conversion, you should set first the output format and path folder.

1) Click to open the “Profile” drop-down menu.
2) Click “Audio” and then “M4A”.
3) Set the format quality to “High, Medium, or Low”.

Return to the file list.
Click the “Convert” button, then the converted M4A file will be saved in the default output folder.

The program will pop up a window to inform you once the conversion is completed. Click “OK” to open the folder of your saved converted M4A files.
