    • @Touchtechnologyreview
      @Touchtechnologyreview  3 роки тому

      I haven't tried that but I would think that it would be copyright protected in some manner. So that you can only listen to it in their app. If you want to listen to it on a computer I believe you can access the service via a web browser. I know they also offer listening of the audio offline via download but I assume its all in the app or browser only.

    Hi, I'm new to your channel and tried your advice. Tried converting AAC to MPEG3 but the audio converted from AAC to MPEG. Is MPEG the same as MP3? Can I play the audio through my speaker using USB with MPEG conversion? I tried to save all my songs on USB so I can use it for my students. Thanks in advance!

    • @Touchtechnologyreview
      @Touchtechnologyreview  2 роки тому +1

      Actually it should be MP3 which is a dedicated audio file. MPEG3 is audio and video. So it depends on which device you are playing it on as to which one is best. If it is just audio really it should be mp3.

      If you go to the Music app, go to settings/Files/Import Settings/. Then change this to MP3 Encoder. Then when you click on the track and select the convert option from the top file menu it should be there. Let me know how it goes.

      Apple Music doesn't support the flac format. So in that can download Audacity which is free audio editing software. It can open flac files and simple go to file export and export as mp3.. You can get Audacity for Mac,Windows and Linux here www.audacityteam.org/download/
