help FAQ

What bitrate does the output use?

We encode at 192 kbps, which is widely considered transparent (indistinguishable from the original) for most listeners on typical playback equipment.

Will I hear any quality difference?

At 192 kbps, the difference is imperceptible on normal headphones and speakers. Audiophiles listening on high-end equipment may detect subtle differences in complex passages.

Can I upload stereo WAV files?

Yes. Stereo WAV files are encoded as stereo MP3. Mono WAV files produce mono MP3 output.

What sample rates are supported?

Standard rates (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz) are fully supported. Unusual sample rates are resampled to 44.1 kHz automatically.
