FLAC files can be converted to MP3 files with the use of various programs. FLAC files are loss-free audio codecs, and are open source files used most often by rock fans who use digital sound recorded to record live concerts as audio files. Legal FLAC files can be found all over the web for fans to download and use. FLAC offers only a satisfactory level of sound quality due the fact that it is a loss-free file format. A significant problem with FLAC files are their size; they are very large and therefore many applications do not support them. However, MP3 files are widely supported by most, if not all, media players, because they are so much smaller than FLAC files, thus allowing more music to be stored on a computer or MP3 player.

Audio Video Interleave (AVI) is a multimedia container format created by Microsoft as part of its Video for Windows (VFW) technology. AVI files can hold both audio and video data in a file container that allows simultaneous audio-with-video playback. AVI files support several streaming audio and video similar to the DVD video format. AVI is a common format for audio/video on the PC and can be supported by some standalone DVD players. It is not ideal for use as a general purpose container.

To play an AVI file on Windows the type of decoder on the computer must be determined to portray the video. AVI files consist of a property called a FourCC, which has four letters, determined by the kind of encoding used. VFW decoders then register particular FourCCs with Windows, letting it know that they can decode video in those formats

AVI files can be created with no compression, resulting in extremely large file sizes, but with no loss of quality from the input video to the saved file. This also requires no codecs to be installed, either for saving or playback; as such it is recommended to use a Lossless Compression format instead.

AVI files can be easily converted to DVD with the use of convertor programs available on the internet. One example is the Avi2DVD which is a graphic user interface that uses freeware tools and various freeware encoders or CCE to perform conversions. Other types of convertors are Convert Genius, Adobe Premier, Nero, and Pinnacle.

CDA which stands for CD Audio, is not an audio file format like MP3 or WMV. Rather, when an OS detects an Audio CD, it reads the basic information recorded on the CD, including the number of tracks, CD Text if available, total duration etc. To access the audio tracks, it also creates CDA labels, though the labels are not real files and are impossible to copy by selecting and dragging them. So to convert CDA to MP3, you will be required to rip your Audio CD, as CDA labels cannot be converted at all, as they contain no audio information.
