The Converted File Playback feature lets you listen to your audio in its original, uncompressed quality.

How to play the original file

  1. Open the audio file in Pibox.

  2. On the track control panel, click the Converted button.

  3. In the pop-up window, select Original to start playback in uncompressed quality.

When the Converted button is active

The Converted button becomes available when:

  • The original audio file is large and has been compressed on the server to reduce network load.

  • For most formats (except AIF), browsers cannot directly play the original uncompressed file, so they are streamed in compressed form by default.

With this feature, you can switch back to the original RAW audio for the highest-quality listening experience whenever needed.

💡Note: RAW file playback is available on the Pro plan and above.
