What is AT3 file?
The .AT3 file extension is associated with the ATRAC3 Audio File. It is a compressed audio format developed by Sony Business and Professional Solutions Group. AT3 audio files are used mainly for audio in games on Playstation Portable (PSP) devices. This format is also known as ATRAC3 plus or ATRAC Advanced Lossless and compresses audio data up to 85%. It is made up of two components: an encoder which compresses the audio data and a decoder that decompresses it. [ ⏩ ] AT3 file extension
What is FLAC file?
The .FLAC file extension is used for a compressed audio file format called Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC). Developed by Xiph.org, the FLAC format is one of several lossless audio formats that offer the same level of encoding quality as compared to alternative PCM formats, such as WAV and AIFF, but at a smaller compressed size. This format is commonly used for download and streaming services, as well as playback on certain digital audio players. [ ⏩ ] FLAC file extension
How to convert the file from AT3 to FLAC?
To successfully convert the AT3 file to FLAC, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.AT3). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case FLAC (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than FLAC).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. AT3 to FLAC. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting AT3 files to FLAC files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension FLAC, while before this step we had the AT3 file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new FLAC file, or not.
