WAV Converter

WAV Converter is a simple-to-use software application that gives you the possibility to create WAV audio tracks from files with a wide range of types. Supported extensions include MP3, WAV, AAC, WMA, FLAC, M4A and AC3.
In addition, you can extract the audio stream from WMV, MP4, 3GP, MKV, FLV, VOB, MPG, AVI, MOV and other types of video files, in order to save it as WAV. It enables you to select the output quality.

Simple setup and interface

The installation operation is a fast job that shouldn't impose any difficulties. When it comes to the GUI, WAV Converter opts for a classical window with a plain look, yet neatly structured layout, making it possible to quickly figure out how the app works.

Create WAV from common audio and video files

Batch conversion is supported, which means that you can add as many files as you want to the task list, even if they have different formats, whether they're audio or video. In the task list you can check out the full path of each item.
Before proceeding with the conversion procedure, you can specify the preferred output folder, along with the WAV sound quality: same quality, very high, high, medium, low, very low, or custom bit rate (1024, 512, 256, 128, 64, 32). During the task, you can view a progress bar. However, there are no statistics displayed.

Evaluation and conclusion

It didn't put a strain on the system's performance in our tests, running on low CPU and RAM. Conversion tasks were carried out in reasonable time and the output files had quality sound.
On the other hand, WAV Converter doesn't make room for customization, especially when it comes to experienced users looking for advanced audio configuration settings. Nevertheless, it still works on later Windows, although it hasn't been updated for a long time.
