How to Convert WAV to MP3
By Convert on Dec 15, 2010 with Comments 0
WAV or the Waveform Audio format is also known as Audio for Windows. It is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for gathering an audio bit-stream on the system. This format is used for raw and uncompressed audio and is considered as the main audio format for Windows. The Waveform Audio format is the highest quality audio format and comparatively of bigger size.
The popularity of the WAV format declines as a result of internet file sharing, where you need to compress the file to a condensed format as we can see in the case of MP3. MP3 and many other formats are developed particularly for compressing files for easy sharing and rapid downloads.
