Choose a destination for Audio
A Audio source is a generic sound input whose actual codec determines samples, channels, tags, and player support. Its useful destination depends on which stored properties the receiving workflow actually consumes.

Audio in practice
Converting audio touches the codec, sample format, bitrate, channels, and metadata all at once. A studio master, a music-delivery copy, and a speech recording each need a different destination for that reason.

The failure mode worth testing
A generic audio label does not reveal whether the upload is a lossy delivery file, a lossless master, or raw PCM needing manual settings.
Evidence to collect after conversion
Identify the codec, then compare duration, sample rate, channel layout, peaks, and audible quality.
Shared rules for this audio family
- Protect the master: Keep WAV, FLAC, or the original production file before making a small delivery copy.
- Match the channel layout: Check mono, stereo, and multichannel audio in the destination player.
- Avoid repeat loss: Do not keep converting one lossy MP3 or AAC file into another lossy format.
