Podcast hosting platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts all support MP3. It's the safe choice for distribution.
For spoken word, 128kbps mono is plenty. Music-heavy podcasts benefit from 192kbps stereo. AudioUtils lets you choose the right balance of size and quality.
Record in the highest quality your setup allows. Convert to your distribution format once, at the end. Every extra conversion degrades lossy audio slightly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose audio quality converting MP4 to MP3?
Most MP4 files already use AAC audio compression. Converting to MP3 involves re-encoding, which can introduce minimal quality loss. At 320kbps, the difference is negligible for most listeners.
Can I extract audio from YouTube downloads?
If you have a locally saved MP4 file, yes. This tool processes files on your device — it doesn't download from URLs.
What happens to the video data?
The video track is discarded entirely. Only the audio is extracted and converted to MP3. Your file size drops dramatically.
