  • Enable DTX: Discontinuous transmission (DTX) is a method of momentarily powering-down, or muting, a mobile or portable wireless telephone set when there is no voice input to the set. This optimizes the overall efficiency of a wireless voice communications system. In a typical two-way conversation, each individual speaks slightly less than half of the time. If the transmitter signal is switched on only during periods of voice input, the duty cycle of the telephone set can be cut to less than 50 percent. This conserves battery power, eases the workload of the components in the transmitter amplifiers, and reduces interference. For more information about DTX, please click here.

What encoding parameters does the software support for AWB?

The software supports the following encoding parameters for AWB.

  • Bit Rate: supports 6.60 kbps, 8.85 kbps, 12.65 kbps, 14.25 kbps, 15.85 kbps, 18.25 kbps, 19.85 kbps, 23.05 kbps, and 23.85 kbps.
  • Enable DTX: Discontinuous transmission (DTX)

What encoding parameters does the software support for AAC?

  • Allow Mid/Side: default value is ON
  • MPEG Version: default value is MPEG4. The MPEG4 is recommended. As non-standard compliant players like QuickTime 6 only support MPEG4. However, Philips Expanium users should choose MPEG2. As their CD portable does not know MPEG-4 AAC files.
  • Block Type: default value is "Both long and short"

What encoding parameters does the software support for MP4/M4A/M4B?

Similar to AAC file except MPEG Version.


Can I change volume when converting?

Sure. You need to set an option before converting.

  1. For MP3: Click "Options" -> "MP3 Options" tab - > "Sound" section, check "Amplify / Reduce sound" and set a coefficient. The coefficient value is described below.
    • < 100% - Reduce sound
    • = 100% - No changes
    • > 100% - Amplify sound
    For example:
    • 50%: Reduce sound to half of original audio
    • 200%: Double sound of original audio
  2. Output as OGG: Similar to MP3, just click "OGG Options" tab instead.
  3. Output as WAV: Similar to MP3, just click "WAV Options" tab instead.
  4. Output as AMR/AWB: Similar to MP3, just click "AMR Options" tab instead.
  5. Output as AAC: Similar to MP3, just click "AAC Options" tab instead.
  6. Output as MP4/M4A/M4B: Similar to MP3, just click "MP4/M4A/M4B Options" tab instead.

Is it possible to keep ID3 tag information when converting file to MP3/OGG/MP4/M4A/M4B?

Yes, it is. You should check option "Transfer ID3 tag from source file" at "Options" -> "MP3 Options," "OGG Options," or "MP4/M4A/M4B Options" -> "ID3 tag" section.

AIFF MP3 Converter supports ID3 tag of MP3 (ID3v1 and ID3v2), OGG, MP4, M4A, M4B, FLAC, APE, MPC, WMA, WMV, and ASF files.


How can I add a customized ID3 tag when converting to MP3/OGG/MP4/M4A/M4B?

Click "Options" -> "MP3 Options," "OGG Options," or "MP4/M4A/M4B Options" tab -> "ID3 tag" section and check "Add ID3 tag", and then click "Edit ID3 tag" button below to edit the custom ID3 tag information.

At "Title" field, if you check "Name as file name (not include extension)", the software will set Title as file name when converting. For example: original file name is "Happy New Year.ogg", and then the title will be set as "Happy New Year" automatically.


Is it possible to output destination files to a specified folder?

Yes, it is. You may click "Options" -> "Output Options" tab -> "Output Folder" section, choose "Specify output folder" at "Output Folder" combo-box and click "Browse" button to choose an output folder.


Is it possible to output destination files to a specified folder and keep path of original files?

Yes, it is. Like question above, but you should check "Create folders according to path of source file", thus the program will create folders according to path of source file.

For example: Original file is "C:\Music\pop\test.aiff" and output folder is "D:\Output." If the option is checked, the output folder will be "D:\Output\C\Music\pop."


How to split left and right channels into two files?

First, split the left channel.

  1. Set output channel to mono at MP3/WAV/OGG Options
  2. Check "L channel" at Options -> General tab -> "If output channel is set to mono and the original file is stereo, output sound equals to"
  3. Convert to MP3, OGG, or WAV

Then, split the right channel, similar to instructions above, just check "R channel" at step 2.
