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 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.
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 MP3

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.

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.
