Why convert AAC to MP3?

AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is the successor to MP3 and is technically the better codec: same quality at a lower bitrate, or better quality at the same bitrate. It's the default for YouTube, Netflix, and Apple Music. The downside is that raw .aac files — ADTS streams used by radio broadcasts, Shoutcast recordings, and some DVR captures — don't play on older hardware that only groks MP3.

Converting AAC to MP3 sacrifices a bit of efficiency for reach. We decode the AAC to PCM and re-encode as MP3 at a high-quality default. Everything stays in your browser; no upload.
