How to convert WAV to M4A

  1. Drop the WAV files in. One or a folder.
  2. Pick a bitrate. 256 kbps keeps a music master sounding like itself; 128 kbps is plenty for a voice recording.
  3. Download the M4As. The full length of each, named after the originals.

Why M4A from a WAV

Size
A minute of stereo WAV is about 10 MB. The same minute as M4A at 256 kbps is under 2 MB and sounds the same on any speaker.
Apple apps
iPhone, Mac, GarageBand, iMovie and Final Cut take M4A natively. It is also the format Apple Music uses.
Keep the WAV
The WAV is the master. Convert copies to share and keep the original for editing.

Questions people ask

What bitrate should I use?

256 kbps for music, 128 to 192 kbps for speech. Above 256 kbps AAC gains almost nothing.

Does M4A lose quality?

A little, by design. At 256 kbps the difference from the WAV is inaudible for nearly everyone.

Can I make the file mono?

Yes. Mono halves the size and suits a voice recording.

Can I convert several at once?

Yes. Drop the folder and one button downloads every M4A.
