Output format: wav

Some software still refuses to import an MP3: older editing suites, a few DAWs, alignment and analysis tools, and a surprising amount of embedded audio hardware. Decoding the track to PCM in a WAV settles the argument, because raw samples are the one thing everything reads. The decode is local and the file goes straight into your downloads folder.

Frequently asked questions

Does the WAV sound better than the MP3 did?
It sounds the same. The WAV holds precisely what the decoder produced, artifacts included, which is all the MP3 ever contained.
Why bother when there is no quality gain?
For compatibility, and for editing headroom. Once the audio is uncompressed, every further edit and export avoids stacking another lossy generation on top of it.
How large is the WAV going to be?
About ten times the MP3, close to ten megabytes for every minute of stereo. That is the flat cost of storing samples instead of describing them.
