    Will there be any loss of quality or something if I convert my ALAC collection to FLAC? I know they're both lossless but wouldn't the encoder re-convert the file?

    Shouldn't it be the same thing as a remux like you do with video? I'd do a trial and find out for yourself.

    I never heard of alac. Whose codec is it?

    ALAC = Apple Lossless Audio Codec (i think), how do I test this?

    Code:
    ffmpeg -i input.m4a output.flac
    alac --> uncompressed wav == lossless

    uncompressed wav --> flac == lossless

    So, what's up, Doc?
