What happens to your data
Kept
- Raw AAC (ADTS) streams with the .aac extension are supported
- Saved as M4A (AAC) at 192 kbps, which plays on iPhone, iTunes, Apple Music and almost every modern player
Good to know
- Raw AAC files carry no title, artist or album tags, so there is nothing to copy over.
- Both formats compress with quality loss, so every conversion costs a little quality. Keep your AAC original.
