How to Convert M4A to MP3/WAV/AAC/AIFF/WMA/FLAC on Mac Quality Loss

"Hi, there, I have Music Converter 14.4. I have an M4A recording taken on an iPhone using the "Voice Memo" function. Playing the M4A is fine, but whenever I convert M4A to MP3 on Mac, the resulting recording is half the length and twice the speed. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I've tried all combinations of settings I can think of. The same thing happens if I convert it to other formats too. I've never had any hassles before. Any help would be highly appreciated." --bigjimbo from forum.dbpoweramp.com
