02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

MPEG Layer 2 audio from radio and TV recordings is 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

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 MP2 original.

MP2 vs MP3

MP2

An MP2 file is MPEG Layer 2 audio, the older sibling of MP3. It is still used in digital radio, broadcast and DVD video, and shows up in old recordings from TV and radio equipment.

Used in: Digital radio · Broadcast · DVD video

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
