Is It Possible to Convert WAV to MP3 Windows 10?
Rendiyu Both WAV are MP3 are supported audio format for playback on Windows 10. Windows Media Player is a media player and library application developed by Microsoft. It is included in most versions of the Windows operating system and is used for playing audio, video, and viewing images.
Windows Media Player also allows users to manage their music and video libraries, create playlists, burn CDs, and sync content with portable devices. However, WMP is not a dedicated media converter and has limited functionality when it comes to converting file formats, such as WAV to MP3.

While Windows Media Player is primarily designed for playing and organizing media files, it does not have a direct built-in feature to convert WAV files to MP3. However, there is a workaround using the "Rip" feature in WMP, which is typically used for converting CD tracks to MP3 format. Here’s how you can use this feature for converting WAV files to MP3 on Windows 10 PC:
First, you need to create an audio CD with the WAV file(s). Insert the audio CD containing your WAV files into your CD/DVD drive.
Open Windows Media Player. Select the CD you just inserted, which should appear in the navigation pane on the left under “Music” or “Library.” Go to the Rip Settings tab at the top of the window. Under Format, select MP3.
Once the ripping process is complete, your converted MP3 files will be available in the location specified in Windows Media Player’s settings, typically under the "Music" folder in your Windows user directory.
