Here's to all music lovers – best iOS FLAC Player

If you're still wondering which iOS FLAC player to choose – wonder no longer. Just read below.


We all have been in this situation – our top favorite band releases a new hot album, and we instantly want to listen to it in High Quality because, well, we don't want our first impression to get ruined by the poorness of the sound. There's another, more simple way, which is streaming via Spotify, Apple Music or any other streaming service at ugly 128 kbps, but you don't want to make good folk feel sad, do you? I'm talking about Snoop Dogg, Hans Zimmer, Quincy Jones and the rest who made a great short film called The Distortion of Sound which tells us why low-quality music is a crime against art.

I remember in 2013 when Daft Punk released Random Access Memories I found it in FLAC on the web and had to encounter some terrible news – neither my iPhone nor Mac can support FLAC, so I had to look for alternative options to listen to it – "Can iTunes play FLAC?". Regardless whether you use online streamings like Spotify, Google Music or buy songs from iTunes store, you don't hear the full power of the sound, and you can't properly appreciate what artists wanted to tell you through music. If it's the first time you are wondering how to listen to FLAC on iPhone, roughly saying, you have two option. You either convert FLAC to ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) or you find a decent iOS FLAC Player.

Option 1. Convert FLAC to ALAC

It's a quite simple but also time-consuming method. It looks as follows:

  1. Convert you FLACs to ALACs.
  2. Listen and enjoy.

Judging by their names, you must've realized that these lossless formats are not that different in their nature, so if you convert them, there will be little sound compression. If your music collecting doesn't include thousand of FLAC tracks, it makes perfect sense to convert those files. There's a vast range of tools that will help you do it. I prefer Max and XLD myself. Both programs support many codecs and formats nad ensure that the loss of quality is not that dramatic. XLD can also help you rip a CD if you feel like doing it. You won't be disappointed with Max and XLD I can tell you that.

Option 2. Get a player that plays FLAC

It's a much more sensible choice for those who have a vast music collection of many audio formats. Plus, it's a better solution if you don't happen to be a devoted iTunes fan. Considering FLAC is catching on, the number of apps that can play it is also growing rapidly. I suggest you chose an audio player that is capable of playing both lossy and lossless formats. If you have no idea what lossy and lossless stand for, you can read my article on FLAC vs. MP3 to get a better picture of what these terms mean.

Soundcloud, for instance, converts everything you upload to MP3 at 128 kbps.
I realize that you might not always have Wi-Fi around or enough cellular data to stream Hi-Res music so to prevent the silence you can always cache your songs or complete albums to listen to them online. As for additional feature, there's SoundCloud and Spotify streaming, which is very useful when you want to make a playlist with songs from these services. Then you have 30,000+ radio stations and a customizable EQ with some built-in presets for better music experience. All this proves that VOX is a perfect choice if you're looking for a iOS FLAC Player.
