Questions

About converting CAF 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 CAF?

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

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.
