AudioConverter turns audio into MP3, AAC, FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, Opus or Ogg Vorbis on your Mac, keeping tags and artwork. A spectrogram shows if a "lossless" file was really made from MP3, and a size forecast warns about pointless settings before you start.

Could you build this?

Partial Building a basic audio wrapper around FFmpeg in a Mac UI is easy, but implementing real-time spectrogram analysis, bit-depth dithering, EBU R128 loudness normalization, and native macOS clipboard/Finder services requires deep native audio engineering.

What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native macOS app (Swift/Objective-C) integrating CoreAudio or a heavily customized FFmpeg/libswresample build alongside specialized DSP libraries (like libebur128 and FFTW/Accelerate framework). The hard parts are generating fast, zoomable multi-window FFT spectrograms, computing accurate transcode/lossy-cutoff heuristics, and orchestrating multithreaded batch processing pipelines with low latency. Expertise in digital signal processing (DSP) and low-level Apple AVFoundation/CoreAudio programming is necessary.
