To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter. If this is not possible, we can try to independently perform the conversion process from FLAC to ALAC. After exporting, you can easily perform IMPORT of the data in another application. The effect of the operation of one of the program is automatically the input for another application (some applications provide the possibility to automatically save the work done on the file FLAC file to the ALAC format - EXPORT data).

Export and import of data and a manual conversionĪ data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. Data included in the FLAC file can be converted not only for the requirements of another application, but also for transfering them to another computer system.

Every time, when data is to be forwarded, they must be converted to a readable format for the next application - we are interested in the ALAC output format. What they are interested in is the appropriate form or presentation of data, so that they could decipher its contents.ĭespite the fact that the data are in the final form the strings of ones and zeros, they must be strings ordered in such a way as to be legible for a specific application or platform. The machines see the data in the files in a completely different way. We as end users are primarily interested in the substantive content of the file. Data conversion is a process performed for the requirement of the computer technology. Quote from: connersw on February 12, 2014, 07:28:45 am You need to select a file first.The conversion of the FLAC file to ALAC file is the process of changing the form of the presentation of the data, and not the data itself. Then click on the Convert button in the Convert Format Action Window. Under Audio, I would leave Apply DSP unchecked and Bitdepth at Automatic. If you want to get rid of the FLAC completely, select Mode -> Replace original file on disk and in library Under Destination, select Convert to same directory as original files. In the Convert Format Action Window (lower left), click on Options. Then Tools -> Library Tools -> Convert Format. Click on any file in the Smartlist, Edit -> Select All. You should now have a Smartlist that only shows your FLAC files. From the Drop Downs: 1) File Type 2) is 3) FLAC -> OK Name it something simple (like All FLAC).Ģ. Also, since it sounds like you have a mixed Library now (some ALAC already, some still FLAC), I would create a Smartlist of only FLAC files so that you don't end up with ALAC duplicates or waste your time re-encoding files.ġ.
