    Questions

    Why won’t an old iTunes song convert?

    Songs bought on iTunes before 2009 are often protected (M4P files). The protection prevents converting them, here or anywhere. Songs bought since then, and your own recordings, convert normally.

    Which bitrate should I choose?

    192 kbps sounds the same as the original to most people on most music, and is the default. Choose 320 kbps, the most MP3 allows, for archiving from lossless files; 128 kbps is plenty for speech and saves space.

    Does converting M4A to MP3 lose quality?

    A little, since both are compressed formats: the M4A is decoded and compressed again. At 192 kbps or higher the difference is very hard to hear.

    Can I convert Voice Memos?

    Yes. Share a memo from the Voice Memos app to Files, then choose it here. Memos are M4A files.

    What about Apple Lossless (ALAC) files?

    Browsers can’t decode Apple Lossless, so those M4A files can’t be converted here; the page tells you when a file is one. Standard AAC M4A files, by far the most common, work.

    Is it free? Do I need an account?

    It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
