FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is M4A better than MP3?

M4A usually uses the AAC codec, which often sounds slightly better than MP3 at the same bitrate. Both are lossy, so some detail from the WAV is discarded during conversion.

Does M4A play on every device?

M4A plays effortlessly on Apple devices, modern Android phones and most players. For very old hardware, MP3 is sometimes the safer choice.

Are my files uploaded?

No, conversion runs directly in your browser by default. An optional server mode is only offered for particularly large files.

How much does the file shrink?

A large WAV becomes a much smaller M4A, often just a tenth to a fifth of the original size, depending on the bitrate you select.
