02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • iPhone ringtone files (.m4r) 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.
  • Both formats compress with quality loss, so every conversion costs a little quality. Keep your M4R original.

M4R vs MP3

M4R

An M4R file is an iPhone ringtone: AAC audio in an Apple MP4 container, renamed to .m4r. iPhones only accept ringtones shorter than 40 seconds.

Used in: iPhone ringtones

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.
