Frequently Asked Questions
What is WAV format?
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio format developed by Microsoft and IBM. It's the standard for professional audio editing and provides lossless quality with universal compatibility.
What is MP2 format?
MP2 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer II) is an audio codec commonly used in radio and television broadcasting, especially in the DVB standard. It's a lossy format that offers higher quality than MP3 at the same bitrate.
Will converting MP2 to WAV improve quality?
No. MP2 is a lossy format, so the quality is already reduced from the original. Converting to WAV creates an uncompressed file but cannot restore lost quality. However, WAV is useful for archiving and editing without further quality loss.
Why are WAV files so large?
WAV is uncompressed, storing raw PCM audio data. A 3-minute MP2 file (5-10 MB) will become a 30 MB WAV file. The benefit is no additional quality loss and universal compatibility with all audio software.
What software supports WAV?
WAV is universally supported by virtually all audio software and hardware, including Windows Media Player, iTunes, all DAWs (Pro Tools, Ableton, FL Studio), and CD burning software.
