Convert ALAC to FLAC for hi-fi players, music servers and cross-platform lossless libraries
Convert Apple Lossless (ALAC) music from M4A to widely supported FLAC for hi-fi systems, music servers and cross-platform libraries. Batch-process albums and folders while preserving supported metadata and artwork. With unchanged sample rate and bit depth and no DSP effects, the conversion can retain the original PCM samples bit-exactly.
Convert ALAC to FLAC with high-precision audio processing
EZ CD Audio Converter converts ALAC files to FLAC with a 64-bit audio engine, professional quality sample rate converter and accurate codec processing. Create clean, reliable output from albums, folders and high-resolution audio sources.
The converter uses a 64-bit floating-point audio engine, high-precision sample rate conversion, dithering options, gapless audio support, and built-in codecs for ALAC, FLAC, MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, xHE-AAC, Opus, Vorbis, DSD, Apple Lossless and more.
Convert ALAC files, albums and folders to FLAC
Convert ALAC to FLAC in a few clicks. Add ALAC files, complete albums or entire music folders, choose FLAC as the output format and select the quality settings you need. The batch converter is designed for both single files and large music collections.
Audio file integrity is preserved by retaining metadata and album art throughout the ALAC to FLAC conversion process. Preserve the original folder structure or create new folder and file names from metadata such as artist, album, track number and title. Both ALAC and FLAC are lossless, so the conversion can keep the original PCM audio quality.
Securely rip Audio CDs to ALAC and FLAC
Rip Audio CDs directly to lossless ALAC or FLAC files, using advanced error detection and optional two-pass sector-by-sector CRC comparison to identify inconsistent reads. Retrieve disc metadata, preserve available CD-Text, ISRC and UPC/EAN information, and review detailed extraction logs.
CD Burning Made Easy
Burn high-quality Audio CDs complete with CD-Text from FLAC, MP3 and virtually any audio format. Create discs fully compatible with standard CD players or quickly burn MP3 and data discs for easy music storage and playback.
Why use desktop ALAC to FLAC converter software?
Online ALAC to FLAC converters can be convenient for a few small files, but desktop music converter software is better for large folders, private music libraries, high-resolution audio and advanced conversion settings. Keep your files on your computer and control quality, metadata and folder organization.

Built-in Audio Codecs for High-Quality ALAC to FLAC Conversion
All audio codecs are included within the software. There is no need to get additional audio codecs from external sources.
All encoders and decoders work in high-resolution mode (32-bit float or better). High-resolution mode ensures no added noise or processing loss when converting from lossless or high-resolution sources, including ALAC to FLAC, or when transcoding between supported audio formats.

Lossless Audio Conversion for FLAC, WAV, ALAC and AIF
All lossless PCM codecs such as FLAC, WAV, Apple Lossless, AIFF, APE, AU, TTA, and W64, preserve the source bit-depth (up to 64-bit floating point) by default ("Auto" mode) unless the desired output bit-depth is not explicitly configured. Use FLAC for lossless archiving and convert FLAC to MP3 when you need smaller, widely compatible files.
