Convert WAV to MP3
Compress bulky WAV recordings into small MP3s — typically 10x smaller with great quality.
What happens when you convert WAV to MP3
Compresses uncompressed WAV audio to MP3 at 192 kbps using LAME, which is the reference-quality open-source MP3 encoder. Expect roughly a tenfold reduction in size with no difference most people can hear on ordinary playback equipment.
Good for
- Shrinking recordings for email, messaging or web upload
- Preparing voice memos, interviews or podcasts for distribution
- Fitting a large recording library onto a phone or player
Worth knowing
- MP3 is lossy; keep the WAV if it is your master recording.
- 192 kbps is a solid general-purpose setting, comfortably above the point where most listeners notice loss on speech or pop music.
- Very quiet or highly dynamic classical recordings are the hardest case for any lossy encoder.
