What actually changes
ALAC and MP3 are not the same picture in two wrappers.
ALAC is decoded to exact PCM and then encoded as MP3, so this is the first and only lossy step the audio takes.
Worth knowing first
Because ALAC is genuinely lossless, this conversion discards real information rather than transcoding already-damaged audio. Encode at 256 kbps or higher, and keep the ALAC files, because they are the master copies.
Questions
ALAC to MP3, answered
Is ALAC as good as FLAC?
Identical in fidelity. Both are lossless. FLAC compresses marginally better and has wider software support; ALAC is native to Apple software.
Should I convert to FLAC instead?
If the target device supports it, yes. That keeps the audio lossless.
