Also, the higher the bitrate the larger the resulting files will be although probably smaller than the original flac or wav files.Īnother great application is called 'Fre:ac' which may be available in the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM), but can be easily downloaded and used using their self-contained Linux archive file or as a Snap, Flatpak or AppImage, etc.

but, not all mp3 players or older phones and devices can play mp3 files at 320 kbps, so you may have to test it. Tip: Whenever converting higher quality audio files like 'flac' or 'wav' to mp3, you can usually choose the bitrate quality 128 kbps, 256 kbps, 320 kbps, etc. May have to logout and back in or restart your computer for it to show in your menus. One of my favorites applications is 'SoundKonverter', search the 'Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)' for this and right-click and select all recommended and suggested packages.

There are many posts on this topic already in this forum. I just read your post and the good replies to it.
