MP3 and WAV side by side
You start with an MP3 converter to WAV, so the output is already set. Here is what changes in the file.
| Detail | MP3 compared with WAV |
|---|---|
| Compression | MP3 is lossy and compressed. WAV is uncompressed PCM: every sample is stored as it is. |
| File size | MP3 at 192 kbps is about 1.4 MB per minute. WAV at 44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo is about 10 MB per minute, seven times more. |
| MP3 to WAV 44.1kHz 16-bit | The WAV is always 16-bit. Keep the sample rate, or set 44.1 kHz for CD and for most audio editors and samplers. |
| 48 kHz | Set 48 kHz when the WAV goes into a video project. |
| Quality | No quality gain: the WAV sounds the same as the MP3. Detail that MP3 removed does not come back. |
| Opens in | Both play on computers and phones. WAV also opens in every audio editor, DAW, and sampler with no decode step. |

You also get an MP3 to WAV batch converter. Drop a whole album: batch conversion gives every file the same sample rate, and Download all saves them.
With Audacity
For MP3 to WAV Audacity works too. Open the MP3, choose File, Export Audio, and pick WAV. It converts one file at a time unless you build a macro.
On Windows
For MP3 to WAV Windows needs no extra program. In Edge or Chrome, drop the MP3, and the WAV saves to Downloads.
Why WAV
Audio editors, samplers, CD burning programs, and some upload forms ask for WAV. They read it with no decode step, and edits do not remove more detail.
