Why MP3
Some car stereos, older players and upload forms take only MP3. iPhone voice memos and Apple Music downloads are M4A; this makes them MP3 with their title and artist kept.
Questions
A little: both are lossy, so the MP3 is encoded from already-compressed sound. At 192 kbps or more it is very hard to hear.
Yes: title, artist, album, track number and the cover picture go into the MP3’s ID3 tag.
No. The conversion happens right in your browser, so your file stays on your device. There is no account to make, either.
