WAV to OPUS converter

The WAV file format (also known as WAVE, Waveform audio format, or audio for windows) is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard used for storing audio data. It is a widely-recognized and powerful audio format widely used for CD-quality audio and professional music production. As an uncompressed audio file, it uses pulse code modulation (PCM) to digitally encode data. This results in a large file size compared to compressed formats like MP3 or AAC.

WAV files have several advantages over other file types. It is widely supported by most operating systems, audio applications and playback hardware. It offers lossless audio quality and maximum compatibility across multiple platforms. The majority of sampled audio libraries are stored in WAV format, making it the ideal format for music playback and production.

The OPUS file format is a widely used audio format for compressing digital audio data. It is an open, royalty-free speech and music codec that provides high-quality sound at low bit rates and is suitable for both streaming and non-streaming applications. OPUS files are based on the Ogg container format and use a variable bitrate (VBR) approach to encoding, allowing users to adjust the amount of data encoded according to their needs.

OPUS files offer support for a variety of features including multi-channel surround sound, low-delay and wide-band options, forward error correction and support for metadata such as artist, album and track names. Additionally, OPUS files can support a range of data rates from 6 to 510 kbps and can be easily opened by most modern music players.
