What happens to your data
Kept
- Raw AAC (ADTS) streams with the .aac extension are supported
- Saved as uncompressed 16-bit WAV with the original sample rate and channels
Good to know
- Raw AAC files carry no title, artist or album tags, so there is nothing to copy over.
- WAV files are big, about 10 MB per minute for CD-quality stereo.
- A 24-bit hi-res file is reduced to 16-bit in the WAV. Choose FLAC to keep 24-bit.
- The source is already compressed with quality loss. The new file keeps it exactly as it is, it does not bring back what was lost, and it gets much bigger.

AAC vs WAV
AAC
An AAC file is a compressed audio format similar to MP3 but with better sound quality at the same bitrate. It's the standard for streaming audio, YouTube, and most modern devices' default recordings.
Used in: Streaming audio · YouTube · Modern device recordings
WAV
A WAV file stores audio completely uncompressed — full quality, but large file sizes. It's the standard for professional audio editing, recording, and mastering, where quality matters more than size.
Used in: Audio editing & mastering · Professional recording · Sound design
