MLP to FLAC Converter

MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing) is a lossless audio compression format developed by Meridian Audio for high-resolution multichannel audio. It forms the foundation of Dolby TrueHD and is used on DVD-Audio discs and some high-end audio applications. MLP provides bit-perfect audio reproduction while reducing file sizes by approximately 30-50%.

MLP supports up to 8 channels of audio at sample rates up to 192 kHz and bit depths up to 24 bits. Its efficient compression algorithm is specifically optimized for high-resolution audio, preserving every nuance of the original recording while significantly reducing the data rate required for storage and transmission.

Opening MLP files requires specialized audio software due to the format's technical nature. Professional media players like foobar2000 (with appropriate components), JRiver Media Center, and specialized DVD-Audio playback software can handle MLP streams from compatible sources.

Hardware playback is possible through DVD-Audio players and modern AV receivers that support Dolby TrueHD (which uses MLP technology). For broader compatibility, converting MLP to more widely supported lossless formats like FLAC is recommended, though this may require specialized extraction tools depending on the source media.

Converting MLP files is possible with our specialized audio converter designed for high-resolution audio formats. Our tool can transform MLP streams to other lossless formats like FLAC, ALAC, or WAV while preserving the full audio quality and multichannel information.

When converting from MLP, our converter maintains the original sample rate, bit depth, and channel configuration to ensure no quality is lost in the process. For audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts, we recommend converting to FLAC for the best balance of perfect audio preservation and wide software/hardware compatibility.

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio compression format that allows for lossless compression of digital audio files. Unlike MP3 and other lossy formats, FLAC retains the full quality of the original audio while reducing the file size.

It is commonly used by audiophiles and professionals for archiving high-quality audio, as it provides the same sound quality as the original source but with smaller file sizes.

FLAC files can be opened with various audio players such as VLC Media Player, Foobar2000, and Winamp. Many music players for smartphones, like Android's default player or Apple's Music app, also support FLAC.

On macOS, players such as Audirvana or VLC can be used to play FLAC files. If you're using Windows, ensure that your audio player supports FLAC or install the appropriate codec.

You can convert FLAC files using our online converter. Upload your FLAC file, select your desired output format (e.g., MP3, WAV, or AAC), and start the conversion.

Our tool offers high-speed processing and ensures that the converted files maintain excellent audio quality. The converted files are compatible with most devices and platforms.
