MP3
MP3 is the most popular audio storage format in use today. MP3 files typically store songs, music and recordings. Unlike other formats, MP3 stores audio in a much smaller file size to save device memory. It remains one of the most widely supported file formats and can be played on virtually all media players on all devices.
The quality of an MP3 file can vary, because it depends on the "bit rate" used for compression. Common bit rates are 128, 192 and 256 kbps. Check your file specification for more information.
FLAC
FLAC files cannot be opened on most Mac, iOS or Android devices. FLACs usually require plugins or conversions before you can open them without trouble. If you still want to open a FLAC file, then download VLC Media player on your device, or convert it to a more compatible format like MP3.
However, FLAC still offers great quality audio, because its compression doesn't rob it of its quality. The FLAC compression reduces file size by over half, making it easy to store in your device or share over the internet. FLAC is an open-source and lossless compression format. Its full name is "Free Lossless Audio Codec".
