Summary

Drop a FLAC file to inspect its metadata, then use the ready-to-copy FFmpeg command or the platform guide to convert it to WMA on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

How it works

  1. Drop a FLAC file onto the inspector panel (or click to browse).
  2. The Web Audio API reads the file sample rate, duration, and channel count locally in your browser.
  3. Review the file metadata and estimated WMA output sizes at common bitrates.
  4. Copy the generated FFmpeg command tailored to your FLAC filename.
  5. Run the command in your terminal, or follow the GUI guide for VLC or Windows Media Player.
  6. Your FLAC file is never uploaded — all inspection happens entirely in your browser.

Use cases

  • Convert a FLAC music library to WMA for Windows devices, Xbox, or older car stereos.
  • Prepare lossless audio for software that only accepts WMA input.
  • Inspect FLAC metadata before committing to a batch WMA conversion.
  • Generate a ready-to-paste FFmpeg command without memorizing the WMA codec flags.
  • Estimate WMA file size before converting a large FLAC archive.
  • Compare FLAC and WMA characteristics side-by-side to choose the right format.
  • Batch-convert an entire FLAC album to WMA using the provided shell loop.
  • Learn which WMA sub-format (Standard, Pro, Lossless) suits your use case.
