Troubleshooting Common Issues
Slow Conversion: Close other applications to free up system resources. Large FLAC files naturally take longer to process.
Quality Loss: Verify source file quality first. Converting from lossy to lossless formats won't improve original quality.
Format Compatibility: Double-check that your target device supports the chosen output format before converting.
For example, converting to FLAC won't help if your car stereo only plays MP3 and WAV files.
