I wish converting anything from an mp3 to a FLAC magically increased the quality of the music file why

That's not how it works xd. Though if you want to download high-quality FLACs of albums you can use Soulseek/Nicotine+

@asahi95 well there's not really a noticeable difference anyway

@sigmasternchen Not really but I see the appeal of FLAC

Although, I might only use FLAC on desktops and not mobile devices or cloud storage to save space

@Tau I’ll go and see what this Soulseek/Nicotine+ is ^^

@asahi95 Potentially you can try another codec. AAC in M4A is supported by most players and has a better compression ratio than MP3. Vorbis might also be an option. Both Vorbis and AAC need less bitrate to be transparent than MP3 (MP3 usually is considered transparent at 192 kBit/s, AAC at 160 kBit/s, Vorbis at around 170 kBit/s).
