What happens to your data

Kept

  • Both AAC and Apple Lossless (ALAC) M4A files are supported
  • iPhone voice memos and iTunes / Apple Music files work
  • Saved as OGG Vorbis at quality 6, roughly 192 kbps, in a free and open format
  • Works with mono, low sample rates and hi-res files too
  • Title, artist and album tags are carried over

Good to know

  • Copy-protected (DRM) files cannot be converted.
  • Apple's built-in apps may not play OGG. Use M4A or MP3 for iPhone.
  • 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.

M4A vs OGG

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

OGG

An OGG file is an open-source compressed audio format, an alternative to MP3 that's free of licensing restrictions. Common in video games, open-source software, and some streaming services.

Used in: Video games · Open-source software · Some streaming platforms
