Audio compression from WAV files to MP3 helps make the most of the limited space available in our portable devices, or simply to be able to store and back up hundreds and thousands of audio tracks on various media; and this compression is as old as the concept of audio compression itself. Despite being one of the many lossy formats available, the high quality and the small file size that MP3 offers have made it the most popular of them all. That is why, after all these years, new WAV to MP3 converters are still being developed and offered to the public, and EZ WAV to MP3 is a good example of this.
Using probably the best MP3 encoder available - Lame, a free, open-source MP3 solution - this utility offers you high-quality, customizable audio conversions. To find out which encoder was being used, though, I had to look for evidence in the depths of the program's folders - when you are using the best encoder out there, why not tell everyone about it?
Among the MP3 settings available, you will find simple and advanced settings. The simple settings are based on the old Constant Bit Rates we all know and love (128, 192, 320, etc.), while the advanced settings allow you to enter the world of Variable and Average bit rates. These produce smaller MP3 files without compromising their quality, and they are probably the compression settings more widely used today among music lovers, V0 being the option that offers the highest quality. Though you will also find settings for the other audio codecs supported - namely, WAV, ACM , and WMA - these do not offer the same level of flexibility. more
