Free online FLAC to TTA converter

Understanding FLAC and TTA file formats

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is a popular audio format known for compressing audio files without any loss in quality. It is widely used for archiving music and high-fidelity audio because it preserves the original sound while reducing file size.

TTA (True Audio) is another lossless audio codec that offers real-time encoding and decoding. TTA files are less common than FLAC but are valued for their efficient compression and open-source nature, making them suitable for audiophiles and archival purposes.

Why convert FLAC to TTA?

Converting FLAC to TTA may be necessary if you need compatibility with specific audio players or software that supports TTA but not FLAC. Both formats maintain original audio quality, so conversion does not result in quality loss.

The conversion process involves decoding the FLAC file and re-encoding it as a TTA file. This can be done using specialized audio conversion software. The best tool for this task is Foobar2000 with the appropriate TTA encoder plugin.
