WAV Converter

A WAV converter is a program to convert WAV files to another format. Since WAV files are very large, someone may want to compress the WAV file by changing it to MP3, WMA, or Real Audio format. Converting WAV to those formats will always result in some amount of sound quality loss, depending on how small the files are compressed. WAV can also be converted to Monkey's Audio .APE format which results in no quality loss but does not compress the file nearly as much as MP3 or WMA. WAV can also be converted to MIDI format with the WAV to MIDI Converter program. Transferring WAV files on your computer to CD requires CD burning software (MP3 CD Burner) and a CD burning drive.

Some popular WAV converters:

• MP3 to WAVE Converter PLUS (WAV to MP3)
• Virtuosa Gold (WAV to MP3/WMA/CD)
• X2CD Music Burner (WAV to MP3/CD)
