02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • DTS surround files 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
  • 5.1 surround sound is mixed down to stereo, so you hear every channel

Good to know

  • DTS files carry no title, artist or album tags, so there is nothing to copy over.
  • 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.
  • Both formats compress with quality loss, so every conversion costs a little quality. Keep your DTS original.

DTS vs MP3

DTS

A DTS file is raw DTS surround audio, the main competitor to Dolby Digital on DVDs and Blu-rays. It usually holds 5.1 surround and plays in VLC and home-theater gear, but not in most phone or computer players.

Used in: DVD & Blu-ray surround · Home theater

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
