The MPEG-4 Audio format stores AAC-encoded audio in an MPEG-4 container, the standard audio format produced by iTunes and Apple devices. Converting to ASF produces a video file that stores data in the ASF format. This wraps the audio track in a video container, which some platforms require for upload. Metadata such as creation date and embedded colour profiles is preserved where the target format supports it. This makes ASF the practical choice when the destination system requires it or when the original format is not supported by the target application. 1converter runs this conversion on the server: your file is uploaded encrypted over HTTPS, converted using trusted open-source libraries, and the output is held for 24 hours before automatic deletion.
