Step 2. Set Output Format and Quality

Click the Settings icon to customize the output parameters: conversion mode, output format (Recommended, MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, or ALAC), bit rate, sample rate, output file name, output organization, and more.

Tip: With "Record Mode" and the "Recommended" output format, the output keeps the original HiRes FLAC quality of the source track, up to 24-bit/192 kHz. MP3 and AAC are compressed formats, so choose them only when file size matters more than quality.
