About WAV and MP3
audio/wav
WAV is an uncompressed audio format that stores raw PCM audio data. It delivers perfect audio quality but results in very large file sizes. WAV is commonly used in professional audio recording, editing, and archival workflows.
audio/mpeg
MP3 is the most widely used audio compression format for music distribution. It reduces file size by removing frequencies less audible to the human ear. MP3 files are supported by virtually all audio players and devices, making them ideal for music sharing and streaming.
Conversion Notes
Audio conversion from WAV to MP3 re-encodes at the highest quality setting appropriate for the target format. Lossless-to-lossy conversion (e.g., FLAC to MP3) is a one-way process — converting back to lossless does not recover the discarded information. Metadata tags (title, artist, album, track number) are mapped to the closest equivalent fields in the target format.
