What happens to your file
3GP files are common for feature phones, very small files, but not every app or device opens them. MP3 is ideal for music libraries, podcasts, car stereos, any device. Spool converts 3GP to MP3 with FFmpeg — real decoding and encoding, not a renamed file extension.
Audio only. Spool drops the video stream and keeps the soundtrack. The audio is encoded to MP3 at the bitrate you choose (192 kbps by default). Tags such as title and artist are carried over when present.
