Steps on how to convert MP3 to M4R:

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, Audio 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 file already exists (create a new file, overwrite or skip existing file).

Also you can set Media Converter to delete source file after conversion and preserve original folder structure, when doing batch conversion. Finally, you should select the output format and sound quality. In M4R 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.

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

Q: What is MP3 ?

A: MPEG-4 Part 14 or MP3 is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and still images. Like most modern container formats, it allows streaming over the Internet. The only official filename extension for MPEG-4 Part 14 files is .mp3, but many have other extensions, most commonly .m4a and .m4p. M4A (audio only) is often compressed using AAC encoding (lossy), but can also be in Apple Lossless format. M4P is a protected format which employs DRM technology to restrict copying. MPEG-4 Part 14 (formally ISO/IEC 14496-14:2003) is a standard specified as a part of MPEG-4. While the only official filename extension defined by the standard is .mp3, various filename extensions are commonly used to indicate intended content: MPEG-4 files with audio and video generally use the standard .mp3 extension.

Q: What is M4R ?

A: MPEG-4 Ringtone is commonly known as M4R, which is an audio file extension mainly associated with Apple’s iPhone. It is a propriety file extension created exclusively as a ringtone for Apple devices – iPhone. Belonging to the MPEG-4 group, this audio file type contains numeric representations, audio files and text in ASCII format. Basically M4R file extension is used only to differentiate ring tones from songs in iPhone, but otherwise it is exactly the same format. The only difference is that most M4R files are copyright protected thru DRM. Some says M4R is a renamed version of M4A, this can be true especially when you look at the file’s lossy algorithm. The maximum length of m4r ringtone must be max. 40 seconds.
