When to use

  2. 2Select an output format, such as MP3, AAC, M4A, OGG Vorbis, Opus, FLAC, or WAV.
  3. 3Choose the target bitrate, sample rate, and audio channels, or keep the original settings where available.
  4. 4Keep metadata enabled or disable it, then generate the converted audio file.

Use cases
