Why convert 3GP to AAC?
- The new format may support a feature the source container does not.
- The result can be reviewed without changing the file that other people still use.
- AAC is more appropriate for the target application, device, or delivery channel than 3GP.
- Compatibility is the main reason to convert when another person or service cannot open the source.
Will quality change?
Lossy AAC output reduces file size by discarding some audio information. Use the original master for further editing. Keep the source if you may need to adjust the conversion later.
