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.
