Frequently Asked Questions

Is the audio quality good enough for a podcast?

The audio is typically 128 kbps AAC (converted to MP3), which is acceptable for soundbites and clips. For a full music track, it may not meet audiophile standards, but it's perfectly fine for spoken-word and short clips.

Am I allowed to use Reel audio in my podcast?

Fair use may apply for commentary, criticism, or education, but always check copyright. Using short clips with your own commentary is generally safer than playing entire songs.

Can I extract just a portion of the audio?

ReelTools downloads the full audio track. Use your podcast editor to trim it to the exact segment you need.

What podcast editors support MP3 import?

All of them. Audacity, GarageBand, Logic Pro, Descript, Adobe Audition, Riverside, and every other podcast tool supports MP3 files.

Can I extract audio from multiple Reels for one episode?

Yes. Download each Reel's audio individually, then import all the MP3 files into your editor timeline to arrange them in your episode.
