What happens to your data
Kept
- Constant and variable bitrate MP3 files of any length are supported
- Saved as uncompressed 16-bit WAV with the original sample rate and channels
- Title, artist and album tags are carried over
Good to know
- WAV files are big, about 10 MB per minute for CD-quality stereo.
- A 24-bit hi-res file is reduced to 16-bit in the WAV. Choose FLAC to keep 24-bit.
- Embedded cover art is not carried over. Only the sound is converted.
- The source is already compressed with quality loss. The new file keeps it exactly as it is, it does not bring back what was lost, and it gets much bigger.

MP3 vs WAV
MP3
An MP3 file is the most common compressed audio format — small file size, works everywhere, though it loses some audio quality in the process. It's what you'll get from most music downloads, podcasts, and voice recordings.
Used in: Music downloads · Podcasts · Universal playback
WAV
A WAV file stores audio completely uncompressed — full quality, but large file sizes. It's the standard for professional audio editing, recording, and mastering, where quality matters more than size.
Used in: Audio editing & mastering · Professional recording · Sound design
