Monkey's Audio (APE) is lossless but barely supported, so libraries usually need converting to FLAC or ALAC. Converting APE to FLAC gives you bit-perfect, lossless audio at roughly half the size of WAV — ideal for archiving and audiophile libraries. Picmal converts locally on your Mac with batch processing.
Drag and drop one file or a whole folder.
Pick the output format and quality.
Click Convert. Everything runs on your Mac.

Yes. Drag in as many APE files (or a whole folder) as you like and Picmal converts them all to FLAC in one pass.
Yes. Both APE and FLAC are lossless, so the conversion is bit-perfect — no quality is lost.
