Why convert FLAC to MP3
FLAC is perfect for a lossless library but takes up space and isn't supported everywhere. Some car stereos, older CDJs and players won't read it.
Converting FLAC to a 320 kbps MP3 gives you a light, compatible copy while your FLAC stays as the archive.
DJ USB sticks
Older CDJs and controllers that don't read FLAC.
Phones and cars
Save space and play anywhere.
Sharing
Send a smaller file without zipping.
FLAC to MP3: the right way to make an MP3
Starting from FLAC is ideal: you go from lossless straight to MP3 with only one round of lossy compression.
Keep your FLAC files. If you ever need WAV, AIFF or another format, convert from the FLAC, not the MP3.
