WavPack frontend

You can usually tell the quality of a sound file by the format it’s found in. However, it’s not a general rule, since this depends first hand on the recording, after which the codec settings used to create the final audio file. In case you want or need to pump more quality into a WAV file, then WavPack frontend is sure to help you out.

Can be used on the go

The application comes with an advantage that you notice right after download is complete. It’s portability, and allows you to easily deploy it on a USB flash drive to perform this operation on other computers as well. What’s more, system registries remain intact, so you can safely use anywhere you need.
Although the application is merely a visual interface that bundles everything WavPack is capable of, it does not require the target program to run. Once launched, the interface lets you quickly accommodate, with a large panel for files you add, as well as several tabs that let you choose the encoding method you want to use.

Three different encoding methods

As the name might suggest, the application is only capable of working with WAV files. Sadly, they can’t just be dragged over the main window, so you need to rely on the built-in browse dialog. Feel free to add more files, because it’s also capable of batch processing.
WavPack frontend gives you the possibility to repack WAV files either using lossless, hybrid, or unpack methods. These setting menus are stored in tabs, with a different set of options showing up on access.
There’s also an option to add extra command parameters, which only requires you to fill in an input field with corresponding codes. Before initiating the process, you need to make sure you selected an output directory to easily find files afterwards.

To sum it up

All in all, WavPack frontend is a practical utility that makes its corresponding component a lot less difficult to use. It only targets WAV files, but that’s only the main purpose, with tons of quality settings to modify in order to get that extra bit of quality that makes WAV files what they’re supposed to sound like.
