    Questions

    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.

    Will my 24-bit WAV lose quality?

    MP3 has no fixed bit depth, so 24-bit recordings keep their dynamics; what MP3 removes is detail most people can’t hear. Keep the WAV (or a FLAC copy) as your master, and share the MP3.

    How much smaller will the MP3 be?

    A CD-quality WAV uses about 10 MB per minute. At 192 kbps an MP3 uses about 1.4 MB per minute, at 128 kbps about 1 MB.

    Are the title and artist kept?

    Yes, from the WAV’s own tags when it has them. Most WAV files have none; the file name is used for the MP3.

    Are my recordings uploaded anywhere?

    No. Your recordings are opened and processed on your device, and the results are saved straight back to it. Nothing is uploaded. How to check.

    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.
