Frequently asked questions

Does converting to WAV improve the sound?

No. WAV can't bring back detail MP3 compression removed; it just stores the same sound uncompressed.

Why is the WAV so much larger?

WAV is uncompressed, so it is typically around ten times the size of an MP3.

What WAV format is produced?

16-bit PCM, the most widely supported flavour.
