How to use the WAV to MP3 Converter

- Choose the MP3 quality. 192 kbps is great for music, 128 kbps for speech.
- Click Convert, then download the MP3s.
WAV vs MP3
WAV stores sound uncompressed, exactly as recorded: about 10 MB per minute of CD-quality stereo. MP3 removes the parts of the sound people can't hear well, so files are about a tenth of the size. Keep your WAV originals for editing, and share the MP3s.
MP3s are made with LAME, the open-source MP3 encoder, right in your browser.
