Who the heck would want to convert from mp4 to mp3? |
I do not speak about free advertising. You have just raised a question, and I just answer.
I need to convert from mp4 to mp3. I have come here especially for this through the search link. The place seemed to be appropriate. There may be thousands of reasons for that. My reason is that different devices play different formats.

It depends on what matters. The well-known marketing trick is that people usually percept the greater number in the product name as a sign of better quality, which is not always true. Anyway, both are proprietary formats, owned by different companies.

Generally speaking, yes. The question is to make the losses as small as possible. Generally speaking. But if You have records of 1930's You may want to try additional filtering.

What it is about? About Your needs or about helping people to solve their problems?
Peoples' ignorance is definetely not an argument. Newcomers do not deserve disdain just for being inexperienced.

As it has been mentioned above, the question is to find the best option. Price is one criterion for "better", quality is another, convenience of use is the third, performance, flexibility, ... I've tried WinAmp and I'm still looking for a better option.
