FLAC vs MP2 Format Comparison

Aspect	FLAC (Source Format)	MP2 (Target Format)
Format Overview	FLAC Free Lossless Audio Codec FLAC is an open‑source, lossless audio format preserving all original PCM data with efficient compression for archival and high-quality playback. Lossless Compressed	MP2 MPEG-1 Audio Layer II MP2 is a lossy audio compression format standardized as part of MPEG-1 in 1993, known for low complexity and robust error resilience in broadcasting. Lossy Compressed
Technical Specifications	Sample Rates: 8kHz - 384kHz Bit Depths: 16, 24, 32-bit Encoding: Lossless PCM with predictive coding Extensions: .flac	Sample Rates: 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz Bit Rate Mode: CBR only Bit Rates: 32–384 kbps Channels: mono, stereo Extensions: .mp2, .m2a
Advantages	Perfect reconstruction of PCM data (lossless) Significant size reduction compared to WAV/AIFF Error detection via embedded checksums Metadata tagging support	Low computational complexity Robust to bit errors—ideal for broadcasting Widely supported in professional broadcast equipment Simple bitstream structure
Disadvantages	Larger than lossy formats—less efficient for streaming Encoding/decoding more CPU-intensive than simple lossy codecs	Lossy compression discards some audio details Fixed CBR only—no variable bitrate Less compression efficiency than MP3/AAC
Compatibility	Excellent: VLC, Foobar2000, JRiver Good: iTunes (plugin), Windows Media Player (plugin) Limited: Portable media players	Excellent: DAB radio, MPEG-TS streams, Broadcast equipment Good: VLC, Foobar2000 Limited: Consumer MP3 players without MP2 support
Common Uses	Archival of master recordings High-resolution audio distribution Audiophile listening setups	Radio and television broadcasting Digital audio delivery in MPEG streams Archiving broadcast content Low-latency live audio applications

Why Convert FLAC to MP2?

Converting FLAC to MP2 bridges high-fidelity archival formats with broadcasting-ready streams. FLAC retains perfect audio detail at moderate size, but MP2’s low complexity and error resilience make it optimal for radio/TV distribution and live feeds, ensuring dependable, low-latency playback across professional broadcast systems.
