Why Convert WAV to MP3?

WAV files are "lossless" & uncompressed. This means they are exact copies of the original recording, which makes them huge (about 10MB per minute). They are perfect for editing in studio software like Pro Tools or Audacity.

MP3 files are "compressed". They smartly throw away audio data that the human ear can't hear. This makes them 10x smaller than WAV files, perfect for sharing via email, WhatsApp, or putting on your phone.
