Convert MP2 to AAC

File Extension	MP2
Full Name	Sound File (MPEG-1 Layer II Audio Stream)

Files with the MP2 extension are an older audio format whose data is encoded with MPEG-1. Data in such a file is compressed with MPEG-1 Audio Layer-2. It is a lossy compression format. Audio compression in such a file cuts a frequency band that is not audible by humans.

File Extension	AAC
Full Name	Advanced Audio Coding Format

File with an .AAC extension contains audio data compressed with an advanced method. It is similar to the MP3 files, but it usually contains sound in a better quality, due to more efficient compression algorithms. More often than the ACC extension, for such files the M4A extension is used.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "MP2") to another (referred to as "AAC"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, MP2 file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format MP2 to format AAC becomes essential.

So, how can we perform MP2 to AAC file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format MP2 and transforming it into format AAC. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of MP2 to AAC converters.
