## Example Response

  "jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
  "downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/audio.flac",

}
```

## Notes

- Supported input formats include MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, AAC, M4A, WMA, AIFF, and OPUS.
- Bitrate only applies to lossy formats (MP3, OGG, M4A). Lossless formats like WAV and FLAC ignore this setting.
- The output filename keeps the original name with the new extension.
