Steps on how to convert APE to MP2:

1. Add the media files to convert.

The first step is to select media files to convert. Run Audio Transcoder and use Folder Explorer to browse files you want to convert. Then select a file in the File List, drag it to the Drop Zone and drop it there. Optionally, APE Converter allows you to edit tags of any selected file in Drop Zone.

Once files are selected, the next step is to select the output settings in Converter.

2. Select the output settings.

The second step is to select an output settings. To begin, select a folder for output and choose an action to be executed if an output files already exists (create a new file, overwrite or skip existing file).

Also you can set Media Converter to delete source files after conversion and preserve original folder structure, when doing batch conversion. Finally, you should select the output format and sound quality. In MP2 dialog box, choose format settings for the final tracks. Depending on quality you need, select bitrate, sample rate and the number of channels. You will probably lose some audio content if you choose mono option. You can choose what sample rate you want to use. 44.1 kHz (or 44100 Hz) is a sample rate used by music CDs. Less than that and you'll start to hear the loss in quality. You can choose a bit rate you want to use (128kbps is often used for MP2s on the internet).

Once output settings are customized, you can go to the final step - transcoding.

If you want to stop process, please click Stop button. After conversion, you can click an Output Folder button to get transcoded files and transfer to your iPod, iPad, iPhone, media player or hard driver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is APE ?

A: Monkey's Audio is an algorithm and file format for lossless audio data compression. Monkey's Audio does not discard data during the process of encoding, unlike lossy compression methods such as AAC, MP3, Vorbis and Musepack. Data file compression is employed in order to reduce bandwidth, file transfer time, or storage requirements. A digital recording (such as a CD) encoded to the Monkey's Audio format can be decompressed into an identical copy of the original audio data. As with the FLAC and Apple Lossless format, files encoded to Monkey's Audio are typically reduced to about half of the original size, with data transfer rates and bandwidth requirements being reduced accordingly. Monkey's Audio's advantages are better compression rates compared to FLAC and WavPack, as well as multithreading/multicore support.

Q: What is MP2 ?

A: MPEG-1 Audio Layer II or MPEG-2 Audio Layer II (MP2, sometimes incorrectly called Musicam or MUSICAM) is a size-compressed, lossy audio compression format defined by ISO/IEC 11172-3 alongside MPEG-1 Audio Layer I and MPEG-1 Audio Layer III (MP3). While MP3 is much more popular for PC and Internet applications, as it required a lower bit rate (and hence smaller file size) than MP2 to achieve reasonable quality, MP2 remains a dominant standard for digital radio and digital television broadcasts. However MP2 has greater error-resilience than MP3, and at higher bit rates (256 kbps and above) is often regarded as sounding better. For these reasons it is widely used in broadcasting, and includes a 384 kbps option not available in MP3.
