What happens to your data
Kept
- Standard WMA files from old Windows Media Player libraries 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
- Copy-protected (DRM) files cannot be converted.
- 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.

WMA vs WAV
WMA
A WMA file is Microsoft's compressed audio format, built into older Windows Media Player and once common for ripped CDs on Windows PCs. Less common today, but you'll still run into it in older music libraries.
Used in: Older Windows Media Player libraries · Legacy CD rips
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
