Why convert RM to AAC?
- A separate copy makes it easier to compare the old and new behavior.
- Conversion is useful when the destination has a strict format requirement.
- A converted copy keeps the original file intact for comparison and future edits.
- The output can be tested in the destination workflow before the original is archived.
Will quality change?
The audio is re-encoded, so listen to a sample before processing a large library. Bitrate and source quality determine the result. Review the file in the application where it will be used.
