Hi, I was just wondering if I converted my FLAC music collection to MP3s (320Kbps or VBR -V 0), if I will get any quality loss? I also heard that you're not supposed to convert FLAC files to VBR, is this true?

 Re: Converting FLAC to MP3
 
 Theoretically yes
 FLAC is a loseless format, MP3 is a lossy format.
 
 It's analogous to BMP versus JPG.
 
 Whether you can perceive a difference is entirely a subjective matter.
 
 
 Not that I heard there are any problems with FLAC to VBR conversion. A good converter should not produce any problems.

 Re: Converting FLAC to MP3
 
 Yeah sorry, I meant loss in quality as in ripping a CD directly to MP3 vs. converting to MP3.
 
 Thanks a lot. :happy:Comment

 No, converting from flac is the same as ripping a CD (if it came from a CD in the first instance).Comment
