Are you unable to play WAV audio files on your MP3 player? Or have all your attempts to share/transfer WAV music files failed?

Uncompressed WAV formats due to their large size are not typically preferred for sharing music or other audio files. You need to convert WAV files to a smaller and compressed MP3 format that is mostly playable on all mobile devices and media players. The smaller MP3 files are also easily shared or transferred across smartphones, tablets, iPads, and iPhone etc.

So how to convert WAV to MP3 file format?

Step 6: Click OK.

Step 7: Click Convert to start the conversion process.

You might want to use a free Audio converter

To avoid installation of software, you might prefer free WAV to MP3 file converter tools. You can find several free online tools that convert audio files. But be cautious before using them, as often these websites have malicious content in the form of ads and pop-up windows.

The online audio converters are usually very slow to convert and compress large WAV files to MP3. Most of the free audio converters also do not provide user support.

Use VLC Media Player as converter

The most used media player can also convert WAV to MP3 format. Although the process can be tricky for some, but can be used to convert WAV files to MP3.

Steps to convert WAV to MP3 in VLC Media Player:

  • Open VLC Media Player
  • In menu bar click Media > Convert/Save

  • In Open Media window, click Add to insert WAV audio files.

  • Click Convert/Save.
  • In Convert box, browse to choose destination and name of new MP3 file.
  • Under Profile, select MP3 audio format.

  • Click Start to convert. The converted MP3 file is saved at specified location.

Wait for a few minutes as the conversion process with VLC Media Player may take some time. If you want to quickly convert multiple WAV audio files, it is advisable to use Stellar Converter for Audio Video.

Conclusion

If you want to avoid the risk of virus infection in your system or do not want to get into somewhat tricky VLC Media Player steps, use Stellar Converter for Audio Video to change WAV to MP3 format.

Moreover, the software not just converts WAV to MP3 file conversion, but supports conversion of over 50+ audio and video file formats. Available for both Mac and Windows, the Stellar Converter for Audio Video makes your audio files playable on a wide range of audio players and mobile devices.

    VLC Media Player steps didn’t work for me. So I used your suggested software Stellar Audio Video Converter to convert WAV to MP3. Thanks for that!
