RECOMMENDATIONS Best Audio Converter for High Quality Format Conversion?

[cawap]

Hello everyone.

I have been working on a personal music project and recently ran into some compatibility issues with different audio formats. I have a large collection of FLAC files that I need to convert to MP3 and AAC for use across multiple devices and platforms.

I want to make sure the output quality remains as high as possible during conversion.

I have tried a couple of free tools online but noticed some quality loss and slow processing speeds.

What audio converter do you personally recommend for batch converting large audio libraries without compromising sound quality?

FFMPEG is really the gold standard both for audio and video format conversion. There is a learning curve which depends more on your knowledge of various formats, their capabilities and their limitations than ffmpeg itself.
In all my years of multimedia editing every time I thought that there was a better tool to do a conversion it was because I had not properly selected my parameters with ffmpeg. For the long haul, focus on one tool (like ffmpeg) master it inside out, you won't regret it.
If you prefer starting with a GUI there are lots of tools out there leveraging ffmpeg. So, you can start with one of those (Handbrake). But you will realize that the core utility is the best way to go.
