What is Lilt?
Lilt is a cross-platform command-line tool that converts Hi-Res FLAC and ALAC files to 16-bit FLAC files with a sample rate of 44.1kHz or 48kHz. Written in Go for excellent performance and cross-platform compatibility.
Lilt stands for "lightweight intelligent lossless transcoder". It is also a form of traditional singing common in the Goidelic speaking areas of Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man, though singing styles like it occur in many other countries. Features
- FLAC Support: Converts 24-bit FLAC files to 16-bit FLAC using SoX
- ALAC Support: Converts ALAC (.m4a) files to FLAC format
- 16-bit 44.1kHz/48kHz ALAC files are converted to FLAC with the same quality
- Hi-Res ALAC files are converted to 16-bit FLAC following the same rules as FLAC files
- Format Enforcement: Convert all audio files to a specific output format:
- FLAC: Convert all FLAC, ALAC, and MP3 files to 16-bit FLAC
- MP3: Convert all FLAC and ALAC files to 320kbps MP3 (preserves existing MP3 files)
- ALAC: Convert all FLAC and MP3 files to 16-bit ALAC (optimizes existing ALAC files)
- Downsamples high sample rate files:
- 384kHz, 192kHz, or 96kHz ? 48kHz
- 352.8kHz, 176.4kHz, 88.2kHz ? 44.1kHz
- Preserves existing 16-bit FLAC files without unnecessary conversion
- Preserves ID3 tags and cover art from original files using FFmpeg (default: enabled; use --no-preserve-metadata to disable)
- Copies MP3 files without modification (unless format enforcement is enabled)
- Optional: Copies JPG and PNG images from the source directory
- Docker support for containerized execution
- Cross-platform: Windows, macOS, Linux (x64, ARM64, x86, ARM)
