Frequently asked questions

Will converting MP3 to WAV restore lost quality?

No. WAV is lossless, but it can't recover detail already discarded when the audio was compressed to MP3 — it just stores the MP3's content uncompressed.

Why convert MP3 to WAV at all?

Many audio editors and DAWs prefer or require WAV for editing, since it has no decode step and edits cleanly without re-encoding artifacts.

Can I convert several MP3 files to WAV at once?

Yes. Add all your MP3 files and click Convert — each one comes out as its own uncompressed WAV, which is handy when preparing a whole set of tracks for an edit session or a CD.

How much larger will the WAV file be?

Roughly ten times larger: a typical 5 MB MP3 unpacks to about 50 MB of WAV, because WAV stores every sample uncompressed. Leave some disk space if you are converting a whole album, and once the project is done you can delete the WAVs and keep the MP3s. The sound itself is not changed by unpacking — the ten-fold growth is purely the storage format.

Do I need WAV to burn an audio CD?

Usually yes. Audio CDs use uncompressed 44.1 kHz PCM, and most burning programs either require WAV or convert to it internally, so feeding them ready WAV files avoids errors and an extra hidden conversion step. It is also why a standard disc holds only about 80 minutes of audio.

Which programs work better with WAV than MP3?

Audio editors and DAWs such as Audacity, Audition, Pro Tools and Logic, plus samplers, soundboards and video editors. They cut, loop and process WAV instantly with no decode step, and repeated saves don't stack up compression artifacts the way re-encoded MP3s do. For a quick one-off trim, though, most editors will open the MP3 directly — WAV matters most in longer multitrack projects.
