How to Convert Spotify Music to FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)

Part 1. How Can I Download Spotify Music to FLAC?

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. It's an audio format that preserves the original quality of the music without compressing it. Imagine hearing a song and feeling like the band is playing right in front of you – that's the difference FLAC can make, especially for music lovers and audiophiles who care about sound quality.

Spotify, unlike platforms such as Deezer and Qobuz, doesn't offer music in FLAC format. Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis for streaming, which balances audio quality and file size well. FLAC files, being larger, need more bandwidth to stream. So, when we talk about downloading Spotify music in FLAC, we're referring to using special tools called Spotify converters. These tools can capture songs from Spotify and convert them into FLAC files for you.

Part 2. Best Spotify Lossless Downloaders

There are some great Spotify music converters that support the FLAC format. These tools are easy to use: install the software, add your Spotify songs, choose FLAC as the output format, and start the conversion process. This way, you can enjoy your Spotify music in high-quality FLAC format, just like on platforms that offer FLAC natively.

1. ViWizard Spotify Music Converter [Window/Mac]

   

   ViWizard Spotify Music Converter makes it easy to turn your favorite Spotify songs into high-quality FLAC files. It works for both Premium and free users and keeps the original audio quality when converting to FLAC. You can also pick the FLAC quality you want. Besides FLAC, ViWizard supports other formats like MP3, M4A, M4B, WAV, and AAC. If you're a free user, you'll also benefit from ViWizard's ad-removal feature, which removes ads and helps you get an enhanced listening experience.

   One feature we like is ViWizard's standalone access, which connects your Spotify library within the desktop app and allows you to choose multiple tracks for FLAC conversion. You simply navigate through the app, drag and drop the tracks into the software, and that's it. The process is straightforward, and ViWizard ensures the music source is original, making it 5x faster. The conversion is secure too. If you want to avoid putting your account at risk, we suggest adjusting the download speed to 1x faster, though it requires a bit more time and hassle. ViWizard's user-friendly interface makes it one of the best Spotify music downloaders for both beginners and seasoned users alike.

3. Apowersoft Streaming Audio Recorder [Window/Mac]

   

   Apowersoft is famous for its free Online Audio Recorder, which is great for basic audio recording from Spotify Web Player.

This tool is designed for users who require FLAC conversion and offers a variety of other features. It also supports multiple formats including FLAC, MP3, OGG, WMA, and WAV. The premium version, which costs $29.95 per month, provides the option to extract FLAC files.

   However, considering the preservation of metadata and important info, it falls short compared to ViWizard Audio Capture.

For an enhanced experience, we recommend ViWizard Audio Capture.
