Can FLAC files be played in a car?

[McJulian]

Whether FLAC format music can be played in a car depends on whether the installed player in the car model supports FLAC format music. Therefore, some vehicles can play FLAC files while others cannot. However, most vehicles support WAV or MP3 format music. The reason why the vast majority of vehicles support MP3 or WAV format music, while only a few models support FLAC format music, is that MP3 compression encoding is lossy audio, whereas FLAC compression encoding is lossless audio. This means that when audio is compressed with FLAC encoding, there is no loss of information. When FLAC format is restored to WAV format, it is almost identical to the original WAV format before compression. Comparing FLAC and WAV in-car audio, WAV has slightly better sound quality than FLAC. The difference between WAV and FLAC is very minimal, and it's hard to notice the difference without careful listening. FLAC is derived from WAV compression—WAV compressed by half becomes FLAC. This indicates that the memory size of WAV lossless format is twice that of FLAC. In theory, WAV format should have better sound quality than FLAC format. Steps to convert FLAC format to MP3 format: Download and open a FLAC file converter, then click the option to add files; A new window will pop up on the interface. Click on the FLAC format music you want to convert, then click Open; Check the box in front of the FLAC format music you want to convert, then click Start Conversion at the bottom left of the converter; Select the save directory for converting FLAC format to MP3 format, then click OK at the bottom right; The FLAC file batch converter will convert the FLAC format songs to MP3 format.
