Why doesn't this produce a real MP3 file?

Browsers do not provide a native API to encode MP3 files. The best lossy format available natively in the browser is WebM/Opus, which this tool uses instead.

Is WebM/Opus better than MP3?

Yes. Opus achieves the same perceived quality as MP3 at a lower bitrate, or better quality at the same bitrate. It is the preferred format for web streaming.

Which platforms accept WebM/Opus?

All modern browsers, YouTube, and most desktop audio editors accept WebM/Opus. Apple devices and iTunes require AAC/M4A instead.

How do I get a true MP3 file?

To create a true MP3 you need a desktop tool like Audacity, FFmpeg, or an online service that runs server-side encoding. Browser-based tools cannot produce MP3 natively.

Is my audio uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using the Web Audio API. Your file never leaves your device.
