Questions

About converting AIF to MP3.

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.

What happens to surround sound in my AIF?

MP3 holds at most two channels, so surround audio is mixed down to stereo.

Will the MP3 file have a watermark?

No. Converted files never get a watermark, free conversions included.

What happens to my files after the conversion?

Your files are processed on servers in the EU and deleted automatically after 24 hours.
