Questions

About converting AAC to MP3.

Does AAC to MP3 lose quality?

Both formats are lossy, so a small loss is possible. Choosing 256 or 320 kbit/s keeps the difference very hard to hear.

What quality does the MP3 have?

By default the MP3 uses a variable bitrate at high quality, which averages around 190 kbit/s for music. You can also choose a fixed bitrate between 96 and 320 kbit/s.

Do I need an account?

No. Up to 50 files a day work without an account, and the results have no watermark.

Where are my files stored?

On servers in the EU, and only for 24 hours. After that they are deleted automatically.
