WAV To MP3

When it comes to audio files, format isn’t the only aspect that determines quality, but it can make a difference when you need or want to play it on a specific device or player. What’s more, manually changing the extension doesn’t mean the file is converted. This is why you need to rely on special applications for flawless conversion, just as WAV To MP3.

On the visual side of things, the interface is custom-made, and is sure to make you feel at home from the first few seconds in. A large area is used to show all the files that g through the conversion process, with a side panel letting you handle conversion settings, and start the whole process.

There’s one thing you need to take into account when choosing the application for the conversion process, and that’s the support for audio files, which is far greater than the name has you believe. Both for input and output, the application lets you choose from file formats like MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, FLAC, AC3, ACR, ACC, and MPG.

Once imported, files are shown in the main window along with path and name, as well as original format, just so it’s easier to pick a different output in case you decide to load an entire folder filled with audio files.

Before you put the process in motion, quality settings let you configure bitrate, frequency, number of channels, as well as the output location, most of which are easily selected from a drop-down menu. All that’s left afterwards is to initiate the process by pressing the dedicated Start button.

It all goes smooth, and there’s even a progress slider so you get an idea of how much you need to wait. Sadly, the application doesn’t automatically open the destination folder, nor does it provide a quick option to do so once conversion is done. It can take a little while, but system resource usage is decent, with moderate pressure put on performance.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that WAV To MP3 is a pretty straightforward application, at least from what the name suggests. However, the variety of formats at your disposal, as well as the output quality settings make it a bit more than what you’d expect, and is worth at least a try, overall.
