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 WAV files (24-bit, 96 kHz) are supported
- Saved as Opus at 128 kbps, which usually sounds as good as a much larger MP3
- Title, artist and album tags are carried over
Good to know
- Opus always runs at 48 kHz, so other sample rates are converted.
- Older players and some Apple apps cannot open .opus. Use MP3 or M4A there.
- Lossy compression permanently removes some detail. Keep your original if you want to archive the recording.

WAV vs OPUS
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
OPUS
An OPUS file uses one of the most efficient audio codecs available today — smaller files than MP3 at equal quality, especially good for voice. It's what WhatsApp voice messages and Discord calls use under the hood.
Used in: Voice messages (WhatsApp) · Discord & voice calls · Modern streaming
