An audio conversion app (also known as an audio converter) transcodes one audio file format into another; for example, from FLAC into MP3. It may allow selection of encoding parameters for each of the output file to optimize its quality and size.
One exception to this is with the use of a third-party software plug-in, which currently allows iTunes software to playback a small percentage of Ogg-based FLAC files.
