Vous manipulez des fichiers audio et vous vous trouvez face à un enregistrement au format GSM, peut-être issu d'une ancienne messagerie vocale, d'un système de dictée numérique ou d'un enregistreur de conférences ? Ce format, optimisé pour la voix et la téléphonie, est certes compact, mais sa compatibilité est souvent limitée aux logiciels spécialisés.

Le MP3, standard incontournable, vous offre une qualité sonore supérieure et une accessibilité inégalée sur tous vos appareils, du smartphone à la chaîne hi-fi. Notre outil est conçu pour vous faciliter cette transition, garantissant une conversion rapide et fidèle à l'original.
