File Size
One of the primary reasons to convert FLAC to MP3 is to save storage space. FLAC files maintain the original quality of the audio but are notoriously larger than their MP3 counterparts. A single FLAC file can take up several hundred megabytes, whereas an MP3 file with similar audio content can be as much as 5 to 10 times smaller depending on the bitrate used for the MP3 file. For users with limited storage capacities—whether on mobile devices, computers, or portable music players—converting to MP3 can free up significant space.
