Decode an MP3 file into an uncompressed WAV. The conversion cannot recover detail the MP3 already discarded, but a WAV copy is what most DAWs, samplers, and broadcast tools require for import.
When to convert MP3 to WAV
Import an MP3 into a DAW that only accepts WAV
Hand off audio to a broadcaster who requires uncompressed PCM
Run further processing without stacking another lossy step
About the MP3 and WAV formats
MP3
MP3 is the most compatible audio format ever made. It plays on every device built in the last 25 years, from a $5 Bluetooth speaker to a Tesla, and 320 kbps MP3 is sonically indistinguishable from CD for most listeners. Pick MP3 when you want a file that will simply play, everywhere, without anyone asking what a codec is.
WAV
WAV is uncompressed PCM audio — the same lossless signal a CD or studio session uses. A three-minute WAV is roughly 30 MB versus 7 MB for MP3, but every sample is preserved. Use WAV when you plan to edit, master, sample, or archive the audio and need zero generation loss.
