This is the native audio format for iTunes. It can be brought about without
any destructive processes like so:

and the required programmes already set up to do all of this, I will put
myself forward to carry this out.

bears this burden) has much of the setup already, if not all.

it definitely has no destructive steps, but it may be fiddly.

non-destructively. Upload.

it, that would be great.

on most computers with iTunes or VLC - including Fedora - is technically
better quality, and smaller file size.
