About AU and FLAC
audio/basic
The AU file format is a simple audio file format introduced by Sun Microsystems. It is common on Unix-based systems and on the early Internet, typically using mu-law encoding.
audio/flac
FLAC compresses audio data without any loss of quality, reducing file size by roughly 40–60%. It preserves perfect audio fidelity while remaining smaller than WAV or AIFF. FLAC is popular among audiophiles and archival institutions.
Conversion Notes
Audio conversion from AU to FLAC re-encodes at the highest quality setting appropriate for the target format. Lossless-to-lossy conversion (e.g., FLAC to MP3) is a one-way process — converting back to lossless does not recover the discarded information. Metadata tags (title, artist, album, track number) are mapped to the closest equivalent fields in the target format.
