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
- Hi-res FLAC files (24-bit, 96 kHz) are supported
- Saved as M4A (AAC) at 192 kbps, which plays on iPhone, iTunes, Apple Music and almost every modern player
- Title, artist and album tags are carried over
Good to know
- Embedded cover art is not carried over. Only the sound is converted.
- Lossy compression permanently removes some detail. Keep your original if you want to archive the recording.

FLAC vs M4A
FLAC
A FLAC file compresses audio without losing any quality (lossless) — smaller than WAV, but still identical to the original when played back. The go-to format for audiophiles and music archiving.
Used in: Music archiving · Audiophile listening · High-quality downloads
M4A
An M4A file is a compressed audio format (usually AAC inside an MP4 container) used by Apple's ecosystem — iTunes, Apple Music, and voice memos on iPhone all default to it. Slightly better quality than MP3 at the same file size.
Used in: Apple Music & iTunes · iPhone voice memos · Audiobooks
