My lower bitrate files arequieter pieces.įLAC is lossless compression, meaning it makesthe raw files (.WAV for instance is uncompressed, so much larger) smaller while retaining quality. In general, quieter musiccompresses more with FLAC. Furthermore, FLAC is notjust restricted to 16-bit (CD quality), and you can buy files up to 24-bit/192kHz for another potential boost inperformance.Īlso, what is the bitrate of a FLAC file? My FLAC files range from 231 kbps to 1184 kbps.The bitrate has nothing to do with the worthyness of themusic or whether it is "complex" enough. While FLAC files are up to six times larger thanan MP3, they are half the size of a CD, and can havethe same boost in audio quality. That is, a FLAC file for stereo audio at “CDquality” runs roughly 5 MB per minute.īeside this, how big are FLAC files compared to mp3? Thanks for the reply and sorry for the inconvenience.Typically, you're seeing about half the size ofWAVs. In any case, I can't explain it, but VLC is working now with my flac files. I didn't think that was necessary, but maybe it was. In doing my earlier tests, after I clicked "save" in VLC for the audio setting changes I didn't exit the program and restart it, which perhaps was necessary before the new settings would take effect. It might have been putting the speakers as "default" in control panel sound, although I had been choosing them specifically the audio dropdown menu in VLC, so that should not have mattered.
Maybe something I changed did the trick, but I don't know what it was. I had continued to play around with some settings to no avail. I had already restarted the laptop earlier, as was recommended by some posts, with no luck.
I was getting ready to prepare the requested info, and for some unknown reason the flac files started playing, using both download VLC and Windows 10 app store VLC.
