#CONVERT TO 320 KBPS HOW TO#
Then how to get Apple Music as 320kbps MP3 files? Do worry, here we are going to show you the complete guide on how to convert Apple Music songs from 256kbps AAC to 320kbps MP3. However for those who consider that "lower bitrate means lower quality", it would be better if they can get Apple Music songs as MP3 format at 320kbps high quality. Usually, the higher the bitrate, the higher the quality and the more space it occupies on your computer.

Apple uses the AAC format for its tracks, which tends to be much better than the normal MP3 format because of the way in which it’s encoded. For example, the MP3 music you wish to convert to 320kbps, meaning there are 320 kilobits of data stored in each second of the song. But there’s more to it than just bitrate. (Because it is a good 128.) There may be a little rolloff around 8-10k (super high end) but its more. The sound is STILL practically identical. I then take that 320 and Convert it to 128 in iTunes. iTunes compresses very well (imo), and so if you compare that WAV with that 320, they will sound practically identical. In this case, theoretically, Apple Music’s 256 kbps bitrate shouldn’t sound as good as the 320 kbps offered by its rival services. I bounce out a song as a WAV, and then convert it to a 320 MP3 using iTunes.

So while Apple has not formally announced the bitrates that its songs stream at, we can confirm that the highest bitrate of Apple Music songs is 256kbps, which is lower than the 320 kbps offered by Spotify, Radio, Tidal and so on.

Normally, the locally-saved Apple Music files are 256 kbps AAC files (the same as iTunes store downloads). I bounce out a song as a WAV, and then convert it to a 320 MP3 using iTunes.
