See? Nothing complicated! Hopefully, you can now get your AAC files sorted & converted properly 😎 

What Is an AAC File?

AAC, or Advanced Audio Coding, is a compressed audio format used by Apple as an alternative to MP3. Although both are lossy formats, AAC files retain better audio quality. For those who want to convert AAC files to a more universally compatible format like MP3, tools like WALTR PRO allow for easy conversion and even native playback of WAV files on iPhone.

Convert Any File Format with WALTR PRO

WALTR PRO’s versatility goes beyond AAC to MP3 conversions. If you need to convert RM to MP4 or even transfer music from computer directly to an iPhone, WALTR PRO has you covered. With one drag-and-drop, you can change audio and video formats to ensure seamless playback on any Apple device.

AAC vs. MP3

When it comes to choosing between AAC and MP3, each format has its pros and cons. AAC files generally offer higher audio quality, but compatibility can be a limitation. For instance, you may need to convert AAC to MP3 if your device doesn’t support AAC playback. WALTR PRO makes this conversion simple, allowing you to enjoy your music in the format best suited for your needs.

AAC Features

• An AAC file type can have different file extensions such as .m4a, .m4b, .m4p, .m4v, .m4r, .3gp, and .mp4.
• Not all audio players play AAC files, but all Apple devices support the format.
• A lossy compression file.
• The quality of AAC audio is better than mp3; however, both formats have the same bitrate.
