Quick Tips. Download the recommended TAK converter here to convert any audio file for smooth playback.
Have you ever seen TAK audio files? When you download the ACG Anime Music/Song Album, you can easily find the file with the .tak extension.
In fact, a TAK file is an audio file created in Tom's lossless Audio Kompressor format. It is a lossless audio compression format that offers a high compression ratio and fast decoding speed. Namely, it can reduce the size of an audio file greatly with original quality preserved. However, there are few programs supporting TAK audio. If you are struggling with how to play TAK files, read on to the following part about how to convert TAK to FLAC or other popular formats for easier playback on players.

Hit the "Output Format button" on the right side. Go to the "Audio" tab and choose the needed lossless format. Here I choose to convert TAK to FLAC. You can also choose a compressed audio format like TAK to MP3 based on your own demands. Moreover, the software enables you to convert APE to FLAC, convert M4A to WAV and so forth with the same steps.
Specify the output path by clicking on the folder icon next to "Open" Folder. Finally press the "Run" button on the bottom right corner. Once the process finishes, you can play the audio on your devices and edit them with software at ease.

Just upload your TAK file and choose the output format and then hit the Convert button or something like that. Finally, download the converted file to your computer.
