Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep the audio playing with screen off?
Yes — once it's an MP3 on your device, any music app plays it with screen off. Unlike YouTube which requires Premium for background play.
Sound quality?
Up to 320kbps — better than Spotify Free's 160kbps and matching Spotify Premium.
Does it include chapters / timestamps?
No — we extract the raw audio. Chapter metadata isn't embedded.
What about long videos (1+ hour)?
Works fine. Long podcasts/lectures process at about 1 minute per 30 minutes of content.
Mobile-friendly?
Yes — works on iPhone Safari and Android Chrome. The MP3 saves to your music folder.
