Lossy vs Lossless: What You Need to Know
Lossy Formats
MP3, AAC, OGG - these formats remove audio data to reduce file size.
- ✓Small file sizes (1MB per minute)
- ✓Universal device support
- ✗Quality degrades with re-encoding
Lossless Formats
WAV, FLAC - these formats preserve all original audio data.
- ✓Perfect audio quality
- ✓No quality loss when editing
- ✗Larger file sizes (5-10MB per minute)
Important: Converting lossy to lossless (e.g., MP3 to FLAC) does NOT improve audio quality. The lost data cannot be recovered.
