Questions

About converting AIFF to MP3.

What quality does the MP3 have?

What happens to surround sound in my AIFF?

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

Where are my files stored?

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