02 / what you get
What happens to your data
Kept
- Sample rate and channels (mono, stereo, even 5.1 surround) are read as they are
- Apple Core Audio files (.caf) from GarageBand and Logic are supported
- 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
- Title, artist and album tags are carried over
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.

CAF vs MP3
CAF
A CAF file is Apple's Core Audio Format, a flexible container Mac apps like GarageBand and Logic use. It has no 4 GB size limit and can hold almost any codec, but few non-Apple players open it.
Used in: GarageBand & Logic · Mac & iOS apps
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.
Used in: Music downloads · Podcasts · Universal playback
