02 / what you get
What happens to your data
Kept
- Monkey's Audio (APE) files are decoded without any quality loss
- Saved as MP3 at 192 kbps, about 1.4 MB per minute, a good balance of quality and size
- Plays on every phone, car stereo and player
Good to know
- MP3 supports 48 kHz at most, so a 96 kHz file is reduced to 48 kHz, and surround sound (5.1) is mixed down to stereo.
- Lossy compression permanently removes some detail. Keep your original if you want to archive the recording.

APE vs MP3
APE
An APE file is Monkey's Audio, a lossless format: it compresses music without losing quality, usually a bit smaller than FLAC. Popular with audiophile collectors, but few players and phones open it, so people convert it to FLAC or MP3.
Used in: Lossless music collections · Audiophile rips
MP3
An MP3 file is the most common compressed audio format — small file size, works everywhere, though it loses some audio quality in the process. It's what you'll get from most music downloads, podcasts, and voice recordings.
