How do I convert an AU file to MPEG?

1. Choose your .au file from your device. 2. Set output format to MPEG. 3. Click 'Convert' to start the process. 4. Download the newly created MPEG file. The audio is encoded with MPEG-4 AAC at the original sample rate, and a silent placeholder frame is added to satisfy video container requirements.

Why would I convert AU to MPEG instead of keeping the original AU file?

AU is a legacy format from Sun Microsystems, unsupported by most modern devices, smart TVs, and online video players. MPEG is the industry-standard video format recognized across platforms. Converting AU to MPEG compresses the audio using efficient MPEG codecs, reducing file size by up to 70% while making the audio playable in any MPEG-compatible player—ideal for sharing or archiving.

Does AU to MPEG conversion preserve the original audio quality?

Yes, the converter retains the original sample rate (e.g., 44100 Hz) and bit depth when possible. However, since MPEG uses lossy compression, the audio is encoded using MPEG Layer-3 or AAC at a configurable bitrate (e.g., 192 kbps) to balance file size and fidelity. Channel layout (stereo/mono) is preserved, and no unintended noise or reverb is introduced. If you need lossless output, consider converting to FLAC instead.

Yes, AU-TO-MPEG on LetsConvert is 100% free with no registration or hidden fees required.
