VR WaveMP3

A file’s format is dictated by the set of tools used to bundle all attributes to make it work. Audio files are based on encoders, each delivering quality in its own way. In case you have to work with MP3 and WAV files on a daily basis, then VR WaveMP3 helps you perform quick conversion between these two, without affecting quality.

Can be used on the go

One of the application’s main advantages is the lack of an installer, which means it’s good to go from them moment download is done, and you can also carry it around on a thumb drive. Moreover, registry entries don’t need to be modified in the process to make the application work, so the health status of the target PC remains intact.
The whole process from start to end doesn’t last more than a few seconds. Chances are you spend more time looking for the file you want to convert. Unfortunately, dropping the target file over the main window has no effect, so you need to rely on the dedicated browse dialogs to load either a WAV or MP3 file.

Leaves more to be desired

Conversion from MP3 does not create a PCM encoded WAV file, which means you still need MP3 codecs on the target machine to read output. This means that not all WAV files can be transformed to MP3 through this method, which has a considerable impact on practicality.
In fact, very little changes between files you decide to process. Output is always created in the same folder, so be sure there’s no other file with the same name and format to prevent overwriting it. The operation is straightforward, with no possibility to tweak quality.

In conclusion

Bottom line is that some audio processors only accept files under particular encoding options, and VR WaveMP3 wants to help convert to the right one. However, it comes with a rather poor conversion algorithm, no quality options, in spite of its simplicity and flexibility in design.
