How it works

  1. Drop your FLAC anywhere on the desk at the1992.com — THE SLOT reads the disk and lists everything the machine can do with it.
  2. Pick CONVERT once it lights up.
  3. Until then, the machine will tell you honestly that this one is still on the bench.

Questions, answered honestly

What is the difference between FLAC and MP3?
FLAC is lossless compressed audio — its strength is archive-quality sound at half the size of WAV. MP3 is the universal compressed audio format — its strength is playing absolutely everywhere. Converting FLAC to MP3 trades one for the other.
Does converting FLAC to MP3 lose quality?
MP3 is a compressed format, so some detail is traded for a smaller file. At a sensible quality setting the difference is rarely visible — and the machine lets you set that dial yourself.
Does my file get uploaded?
When this tool arrives it will live on the open shelf: it will run entirely in your browser, on your machine.
Is convert flac to mp3 free?
Yes — tools on the open shelf are free to use.
