App source Vs. Web player source

In the initial interface of NoteBurner, you are ganna to choose which music port you want to download - from the music app, or from the music web player. Here this article will explain the main difference between them.

Part 1. Differences between App source and Web Player source?

The main differences between these two modes are the output quality and the conversion speed. The other features are roughly the same.

Tips: For Windows users, we suggest to choose the "Music App" as the download source to get a better audio quality. While for Mac, it's better to choose the "Music WebPlayer" mode to download at 10X faster speed.
