WAV Tools

Various audio formats are available to use, but not all audio players are capable of rendering playback. However, these differences are not to draw attention towards particular players, but rather to better store quality, even at the cost of disk space. As such, you might find WAV Tools a nifty application to join multiple WAV files together.

First of all, the application isn’t packed inside an installer, which means you can check out its set of features as soon as download is done. Moreover, it doesn’t make any changes to system registry entries, so it’s possible to safely carry it around on a thumb drive in case you want to use it on other computers. Just make sure that .NET Framework is installed on your computer.

As the name clearly points out, the main resource here is represented by WAV files. The core function of the application is to help you join multiple such audio files into a single one. You can either load them through the browse dialog, or a drag and drop operation. Pay attention to the order, because it dictates playback. You can arrange them with the dedicated set of controls.

It’s a good idea to double-check files in terms of content before loading them here, because there are no playback controls to provide easy preview. A set of controls lets you define the offset samples, as well as the possibility to add a pre-gap between audio files, which is specified in minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.

Before the operation can commence, you also need to specify where the file is saved, and under what name. Choosing to make and image starts the process. The destination folder is not opened when done, but there is a prompt which shows up to inform about the status of the operation.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that WAV Tools is a pretty straightforward application when it comes to WAV file manipulation. The list of operation is pretty poor, containing only the necessary options to load files, add audio gap, and build the resulting file, without a preview function to analyze content, or possibility to convert to other formats.
