How to turn iPhone voice memos into MP3s

iPhone Voice Memos saves recordings as M4A, which some Windows apps, cars and websites won’t play. Share the memo to Files, convert it to MP3 here, and trim it if you only need part of it.

Questions

Which quality should I pick for speech?

Standard (128 kbps) is plenty for voices and keeps the file small. Pick High or Best for music.
