About WAV to MP3
MP3 uses lossy compression to make audio files much smaller than typical WAV files, which is useful for sharing, downloads, and portable playback.
Will quality change?
Yes. MP3 is lossy, so encoding from WAV discards some audio information to reduce file size.
When should I keep WAV?
Keep WAV for editing, mastering, archiving, or other workflows where you want to avoid an additional lossy compression step.
