WAV to MP3 ConverterA WAV to MP3 converter is a program that encodes WAV files to the MP3 format. The original WAV file is compressed using the technology provided by the MP3 encoder to much smaller file sizes. The resulting sound quality depends on how small you choose to compress the file. The smaller it gets, the worse it sounds because audio data is being discarded. The best WAV to MP3 converters use technology by LAME or Fraunhofer based encoders. Fraunhofer is the original developer of the MP3 technology and can be found in programs like Virtuosa Gold, Music Match Jukebox, and Siren Jukebox. It is fantastic at lower bitrates, especially 128kbps. LAME is an open source (practically meaning nobody owns it) encoder that has its own technology to make MP3s. It has become extremely popular due to its open source nature and nice blend of quality and speed. Here is a list of programs that use the LAME encoder.
