MP3 is definitely the most popular music format out there. All players support this extension and people tend to convert any other audio file types to MP3. However, sometimes you need to change this MP3 to WAV, and this article reveals how to do it and when such audio processing can be useful.
Both music formats are extremely popular worldwide and have their strenghts and weaknesses.
MP3 is an omnipresent lossy audio format. It reduces the file size significantly at the optimal quality level in the output files. MP3 gives you an opportunity to modify bit rate, file size and level of audio quality.
WAV is a lossless format with the original sound quality of the recording. This advantage makes WAV files much larger in size compared to nearly every other music extension. Widely supported, it is mostly used for creating music on Audio CDs.
Note: Converting MP3 to WAV will not improve the sound quality. While original WAV files sound better, MP3 and other lossy formats are compressed and their conversion does not restore the original quality.
WAV format is very useful when working with samples for a new track. For example, if you want to use an MP3 sample and play with effects before integrating it to a future audio file, some apps may prefer WAV over the unsupported MP3 format.
Also, when burning a CD it is recommended to convert all tracks to WAV. This use case is especially relevant, if your car does not have Bluetooth connection and you want to listen to music from CD.
