A: Currently we support MP3, WAV, FLAC, and OGG. These are all common audio file formats with different advantages and disadvantages.

MP3 is a popular compressed format you've probably very familiar with, which is supported by many playback devices and online services. These file formats are perfect for sharing and distributing due to their smaller file sizes. We generate MP3 between 64 and 320 kbps.

OGG is another compressed audio format, which is supported by many playback devices and online services. OGG is also perfectly suited for sharing and distributing due to their smaller file sizes. We generate OGG between 64 and 256 kbps.

WAV is a completely uncompressed format. If you want to generate other file formats for distribution, this is the file you want because they contain the raw audio samples without any compression.

FLAC is a lossless compressed format of the highest quality, perfect for audiophiles with high end systems. These are large files, typically only slightly smaller than WAV files, but they are 100% true to the source material in that the original audio samples can be recovered after decoding.
