AIFF 에 M4A 변환 FAQ
How do I convert AIFF audio to M4A without losing quality?
+
Upload the AIFF file and the converter chooses the M4A codec / bitrate combination that matches the source profile. Lossless M4A (WAV / FLAC / ALAC) preserves every sample exactly; lossy M4A (MP3 / AAC / OGG / Opus) defaults to 192 kbps which is transparent for almost all music content.
What bitrate does the M4A file end up at?
+
Default 192 kbps for lossy M4A; pass-through for lossless M4A. Override to 320 kbps if you want maximum lossy fidelity, 128 kbps for size-constrained podcast distribution, or 96 kbps for voice-only sources where the smaller file matters more than studio detail.
Will going from AIFF to M4A actually reduce my audio quality?
+
If AIFF is lossy (MP3, AAC) and M4A is lossless (WAV, FLAC), the M4A is no better than the AIFF — you cannot recover information already discarded by the lossy AIFF codec. If AIFF is lossless and M4A is lossy, expect the M4A encoder to recompress; at 192 kbps the loss is imperceptible to most ears.
Does the AIFF to M4A converter keep ID3 / metadata tags?
+
Yes — title, artist, album, year, track number, album art, BPM, replay-gain are read from the AIFF container and written into the equivalent fields on the M4A container. ID3v2 (MP3), Vorbis comments (OGG, FLAC), MP4 atoms (AAC, M4A), RIFF INFO (WAV), iXML chunks all map cleanly.
Can I batch-convert hundreds of AIFF files into M4A?
+
Yes — drop a folder of AIFF files in and we process them in parallel. Premium has more parallel workers and no per-file size cap, so a 500-file batch finishes in minutes rather than tens of minutes. Folder structure is preserved in the output ZIP.
Will the M4A keep the same sample rate as the AIFF?
+
By default yes (a 48 kHz AIFF produces 48 kHz M4A, a 44.1 kHz AIFF produces 44.1 kHz M4A). For specific compatibility — e.g. downsampling 96 kHz studio masters to 44.1 kHz M4A for CD burning, or upsampling 22 kHz voicemail to 44.1 kHz M4A — the sample-rate dropdown applies high-quality SOX-style resampling.
Can I normalize loudness in the AIFF to M4A step?
+
Yes — the loudness-normalize option applies ITU-R BS.1770 / EBU R128 normalization to the M4A output, targeting -14 LUFS (streaming standard) or -16 LUFS (podcast standard) or a custom value. Useful when batch-converting tracks with varying mastering levels into a single M4A playlist.
Will the M4A play on my car stereo / iPod / Sonos / Bluetooth speaker?
+
MP3 plays universally on every device made in the last 20 years. AAC plays on Apple, most Android, Sonos, and modern car stereos. FLAC plays on Sonos and recent Android, less well on older iPods. WAV plays on everything but the file is huge. The device-target dropdown picks a safe M4A codec for the platform you specify.
Is my AIFF file private during conversion?
+
Yes — uploaded AIFF files are processed in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. We never play, store, or share the audio content. The pipeline runs on hardware we control end-to-end; no third-party services receive your file.
How long does converting a 1-hour AIFF to M4A take?
+
Same-codec re-mux (e.g. AAC inside M4A -> AAC inside MP4): 10-30 seconds. Codec change (e.g. FLAC -> MP3 or WAV -> AAC): typically 10-20% of source duration, so a 1-hour AIFF -> M4A finishes in 6-12 minutes on the standard pipeline.
Why is the M4A file louder or quieter than the AIFF source?
+
No automatic gain change happens unless the normalize option is turned on. If you do hear a level shift, your audio player or media library may be applying ReplayGain or per-track normalization on playback — turn that off and the M4A sounds bit-identical to the AIFF (for lossless) or perceptually identical (for transparent lossy).
Can I convert AIFF downloads from Bandcamp / SoundCloud into M4A?
+
If the AIFF download is unprotected (no DRM), yes. DRM-encrypted streaming files (Spotify offline, Apple Music) are encrypted at the bit level and cannot be processed. Sources from Bandcamp purchases, SoundCloud go downloads, podcast feeds, and personal recordings all convert cleanly into M4A.
