MEASURED · 10 OCTOBER 2026

Speed, with the conditions included.

Same 89-track input, 88 successful files. Lower preparation time is faster; browser transfer is excluded.

Cold audio retrieval + ZIP124.81 seconds
Cached audio + newly built ZIP8.1 seconds

YouTube · 64 MiB public sample

3.418 MiB/s average; first bytes in 0.274 seconds after metadata preparation. This sample does not validate an entire ten-hour browser stream.

Single-VPS observations, not a speed guarantee. Cold audio achieved about 42.3 successful tracks/minute; cached-audio preparation achieved about 651.5/minute. Competitor speeds were not measured.

✓Original does not mean lossless

M4A is a container, commonly holding AAC from YouTube. It preserves that supplied audio stream; it does not recover a studio master.

✓No MP3 encoding step

Original delivery avoids encoding delay. Metadata lookup, upstream access and transfer still take time. See the measured sample.

✓Need MP3 for a player?

Use the MP3 converter. Compare M4A versus MP3 before choosing.

Audio file-size calculator

Estimate size from duration and bitrate. This runs on your device; no media URL or extraction is needed.

≈ 4.80 MB / 4.58 MiB

Estimate = minutes × 60 × kilobits/second × 1,000 ÷ 8. Variable bitrate, container headers and artwork change actual size. MB uses 1,000,000 bytes; MiB uses 1,048,576 bytes.

Choose original audio or MP3. Encoding at a higher bitrate cannot restore missing source detail.

frequently asked questions

Does every public link work?+

No. Source restrictions, removed media and temporary upstream failures can prevent a download. Paste the original link again if browser access expired.
