WAV Files: Studio Quality, Storage Nightmare
WAV is what pros use — uncompressed, perfect quality, massive files. Great for editing, terrible for sharing. A 3-minute song in WAV? 30MB. Same song as MP3? 3MB. Unless you're mixing in a studio, you don't need WAV.
I produce a podcast. Every episode starts as WAV (for editing), ends as MP3 (for distribution). This WAV to MP3 converter handles my workflow perfectly. Last episode: 500MB WAV master became a 45MB MP3. Listeners can't tell the difference, my hosting bill thanks me.
