FAQ

MP3 to WAV, answered.

Will I lose quality converting MP3 to WAV?

No. WAV is a lossless format, so no image or audio detail is discarded in the conversion.

Does every device play MP3?

Effectively yes. MP3 is the most widely supported audio format in the world, which is why it's the go-to for sharing.

Why are WAV files so big?

WAV stores audio uncompressed for maximum fidelity, so files are large. Converting to MP3 shrinks them dramatically with little audible difference.

No. PrivateRemix runs entirely on your Mac using its own processor. Your MP3 files never leave the device — there is no server to upload to, and it works fully offline.

Yes. Drop in a batch of MP3 files and PrivateRemix converts them all locally, saving each new WAV next to its original.
