Choose “to M4A”

Before converting your MP3 audio files to M4R, you need to create their M4A version.

Please have a look at the formats bar: here are different conversion options for your audio files.

Click the "to M4A" button. A new window with audio settings will open. Here you can select a ready preset or add your own one. We advise you the "Optimal quality" preset. Using it, you will keep the same audio parameters as your original file has.

There are also some other options available: 320 Kbps, 256 Kbps, 192 Kbps, 128 Kbps, 96 Kbps.

Alternatively, you may create your own audio preset for ringtones. To do this, select "Add your preset" from the profiles drop-down menu. Select the following parameters: audio channel, sample rate, and bitrate. Then name your preset and save it for further usage.

What is M4R, and how to open it?


M4R stands for iTunes Ringtone file. You can create and transfer such files to your iPhone to be used as custom ringtone sounds. M4R tracks are actually just M4A files that have been switched to M4R.

M4R ringtones may be opened with Apple's iTunes program, VLC software, and other media players.

What's the difference between M4A, M4R, M4B, and M4P?


These are all Apple's formats. M4A is a format of unprotected music tracks downloaded from iTunes Music Store, learn more about it here. M4P is Apple's DRM-protected copyright version of the M4A format. Currently, it's mostly used for songs sold in iTunes and Apple Music Stores. M4R is a format of ringtones for Apple devices. M4B is used for protected audiobook files supporting chapters metadata and bookmarking.
