FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does AAC to M4A change the audio quality?

Virtually not at all. M4A is usually just a different container around the same AAC audio stream, so there's little or no extra quality loss.

What's the difference between AAC and M4A?

AAC is the actual audio format, while M4A is an MP4-based container that commonly holds AAC audio. Apple software tends to prefer M4A.

Will the M4A file work on my iPhone?

Yes. M4A is the format iTunes, the Music app and iPhones prefer, and it plays natively without any extra software.

Are my files uploaded?

No. By default everything stays in your browser. Only very large files can optionally use the server mode.
