- Open Settings for the selected file to review target bit rate (kbps), sample rate (hz), audio channels. Leave the displayed defaults if they match your needs.
- Choose Convert and wait for the result. A queued job is waiting for a processing slot; a processing job is being handled.

Use the applied audio settings
The request sends 192 kbps, 44,100 Hz and two channels to the certified M4A to MP3 engine. The output is a new lossy encode.
Check the destination
Spotify, Apple and other hosts can have different loudness, artwork, channel and delivery requirements. Confirm the current policy for the host you choose.
Keep the master
Retain a lossless or highest-quality master when possible; re-encoding an already compressed M4A can add quality loss.
