Format referenceWhy convert WV to WAV?
- The result can be reviewed without changing the file that other people still use.
- WAV is more appropriate for the target application, device, or delivery channel than WV.
- Compatibility is the main reason to convert when another person or service cannot open the source.
- The new format may support a feature the source container does not.
Will quality change?
Converting to WAV is useful for editing or software that expects uncompressed audio; it is not an audio-quality upgrade. Check a sample before processing a large batch.
