Can car audio systems play FLAC files?
1 Answers
Whether a car audio system can play FLAC files depends on whether the installed player supports the FLAC format. If the FLAC format is not supported, you can convert it to MP3 or WAV format for playback. Unlike MP3, FLAC is different in that MP3 is a lossy audio compression encoding, while FLAC is lossless compression. When a FLAC file is restored to a WAV file, its content is identical to the original WAV file before compression. This compression is similar to ZIP, but FLAC's compression ratio is higher than ZIP and RAR because FLAC is specifically designed for the characteristics of PCM audio. Additionally, you can directly play FLAC compressed files with a player, just like playing MP3 files normally.
