The iPad Audio preset converts 3GA mobile recordings into the optimal audio format for all iPad models — iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro, and iPad mini. The preset outputs an M4A file encoded with AAC-LC at 256 kbps and 48 kHz sample rate, matching the specifications that Apple uses for its own iTunes Store downloads. This ensures your converted recordings from old Samsung, Nokia, and LG phones integrate perfectly with the iPad's native audio playback ecosystem.
iPads cannot open 3GA files at all since iPadOS has no AMR file association for the .3ga extension. The Files app, Music app, and Safari all fail to recognize 3GA audio from 3G-era Android phones. By converting to the iPad Audio preset format, your old mobile recordings become first-class citizens on the iPad, playable in the Music app, usable in GarageBand and iMovie, and shareable via AirDrop, Messages, and Mail without any compatibility friction.
The iPad is increasingly used as a primary computing device for content creation, education, and media consumption. Creative professionals use iPads with GarageBand and Ferrite Recording Studio for podcast production. Students and educators share audio recordings through iPad-centric workflows in schools and universities. If you have important voice recordings trapped in the 3GA format from a Samsung Galaxy S-era phone, converting to iPad-optimized audio unlocks all of these use cases on Apple's tablet platform.
The 256 kbps AAC bitrate in the iPad Audio preset matches Apple's iTunes Plus standard, which is the highest quality tier Apple distributes for purchased music. While this is overkill for AMR source material from a feature phone microphone, it ensures the preset works equally well for higher-quality sources. The 48 kHz sample rate matches the iPad's native audio hardware output, eliminating any internal sample rate conversion that could introduce latency in audio editing applications like GarageBand or Logic Pro for iPad.
The iPad Audio preset encodes to AAC-LC at 256 kbps with a 48 kHz sample rate in an M4A container (MPEG-4 Part 14 audio). This matches Apple's iTunes Plus specification, which all iPad models are optimized to decode with hardware acceleration via Apple's Audio Engine. The AAC-LC profile is used for maximum compatibility across all iPad generations, including the original iPad from 2010. The M4A container includes proper iTunes-compatible metadata atoms for artwork, title, artist, and album information.
The 256 kbps AAC output far exceeds what AMR source material from a 3G-era handset requires for transparent reproduction. AMR-NB captures only up to 3.4 kHz of bandwidth through the phone's microphone, so even 64 kbps AAC would be transparent for this content. The higher bitrate ensures the preset is versatile across all source types. The converted file will sound identical to the original 3GA recording on the iPad — the quality bottleneck is always the original AMR capture on the mobile phone, not the AAC encoding.
