Music always goes everywhere, at home in front of the computer, in a living room with a hi-fi system, with headphones on public transport or when playing sports. Music that gives a special meaning to each moment and that encourages when heard.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways to enjoy it, but it is usually always done in digital format. Within the audio files, there is a great variety and normally many still use MP3 for convenience. But there are alternatives that are less popular and that seek to offer a different and higher quality experience. For those who do not know it, there are a number of main sound systems.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mp4gain.com\/mp4gain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/audio-formats1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-299\" src=\"http:\/\/mp4gain.com\/mp4gain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/audio-formats1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"379\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mp4gain.com\/mp4gain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/audio-formats1.png 379w, https:\/\/mp4gain.com\/mp4gain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/audio-formats1-282x300.png 282w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 379px) 85vw, 379px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_best_audio_format\"><\/span>The best audio format<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Beyond that the MP3 format is the most popular of all available audio formats, it is not the only one. Some others like &#8220;FLAC&#8221;, &#8220;WMA&#8221;, &#8220;OGG&#8221; have certain characteristics that, depending on what you want, can be very useful on certain occasions.<\/p>\n<p>In technology, audio formats can generally be classified into 2 categories. There are those that retain all the quality and those that lead to quality losses in sound or information.<\/p>\n<p>Those that preserve the quality of the audio are those that come from pure sources such as CDs. This is how those who lose quality and sacrifice this information are to save space.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Formats_that_preserve_audio_quality\"><\/span>Formats that preserve audio quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;FLAC&#8221; is Free Lossless Audio Codec or &#8220;FLAC&#8221;. It is one of the formats that best preserves the audio quality and its compression algorithm is excellent. It is open source, does not generate quality losses and the size of the file because it is compressed, is much smaller.<\/p>\n<p>Apple Lossless is known as &#8220;ALAC&#8221; and is very similar to &#8220;FLAC&#8221;. The difference is that it is not as efficient, so these files are larger, although they still have the unconditional support of iOS, something that \u201cFLAC\u201d does not have.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;APE&#8221; is another and although the problem with this format is that it is not compatible with the vast majority of players, it is considered similar to the &#8220;FLAC&#8221; or &#8220;ALAC&#8221; format in terms of audio quality. As it is highly compressed, it makes the computer&#8217;s processor work faster and therefore it is not recommended to use it in low-power computing equipment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;WAV&#8221; and &#8220;AIFF&#8221; are not compression formats, but rather exact copies of the original content and differ in the way they save data. &#8220;AIFF&#8221; was created by Apple and &#8220;WAV&#8221; is more universal, but both have too much disk space.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Formats_with_loss_of_audio_quality\"><\/span>Formats with loss of audio quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>MP3, MPEG Audio Layer III or MP3, as many already know them, is the most common format that can be found. &#8220;ACC&#8221; is very popular on iTunes and is considered more efficient than MP3 since files in this format are smaller.<\/p>\n<p>OGG Vorbis is one of the free and open source alternatives to MP3 and ACC. It is not restricted by patents, but it is also not supported by many players. WMA is Microsoft&#8217;s proprietary format and is very similar to MP3, but without great advantages over the others.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_audio_format_to_choose\"><\/span>Which audio format to choose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The one that is most recommended to choose is the &#8220;MP3&#8221; or &#8220;AAC&#8221;, since many players support them. Furthermore, if they are encoded with a high bitrate, they can hardly be distinguished from the original source. However, if what you want is to burn the music, formats such as &#8220;FLAC&#8221; are recommended, because then you can convert everything to other formats, without losing the audio quality.<\/p>\n<p>Once the audio formats are known, when choosing, the differences between each one must be taken into account. In general, what experts recommend is to use &#8220;MP3&#8221; or &#8220;AAC&#8221; since they are compatible with most players and the quality of both is very similar to that of the original source, especially if it is encoded with a high bit rate. Unless you have a specific need, &#8220;MP3&#8221; and &#8220;AAC&#8221; are the most advisable options.<\/p>\n<p>However, one thing to know is that to store music in lossless formats, there is no such thing as \u201cFLAC\u201d. You probably won&#8217;t notice a higher quality, but it&#8217;s good for storing music if you plan to convert it to other formats later. In these cases, \u201cFLAC\u201d is always recommended, and it is also possible to choose the format without loss or degradation of file quality.<\/p>\n<p>As a final conclusion, it can be said that you should not be obsessed with the subject, but you just have to be sure of what you want and choose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the best audio format?
