Here is a step-by-step guide on how to batch-convert your library to the supported format: This way, you always know where your original files are. One popular approach is to store your master FLAC or high-quality files in a centralized folder directory, and to store your converted files for Live365 in a totally separate folder. You can even convert whole music libraries retaining the folder and filename structure.

M4A files - should be encoded at 128 kbps bitrate and 44.1 kHz sample rate.

This way, you can revert back to your original versions of tracks if you are unhappy with the results.
