- Saved as M4A (AAC) at 192 kbps, which plays on iPhone, iTunes, Apple Music and almost every modern player

Good to know

WAV vs M4A
WAV
A WAV file stores audio completely uncompressed — full quality, but large file sizes. It's the standard for professional audio editing, recording, and mastering, where quality matters more than size.
Used in: Audio editing & mastering · Professional recording · Sound design
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
