How to Convert WAV Into MP4

WAV files are commonly used to save recordings because the format does not compress the audio, preventing sound quality reduction. The only drawback is WAV files will not play on standard MP3 players or cell phones. However, converting a WAV file to an MP4 can preserve the audio's sound while compressing it in a MP3 player-friendly format. Audio Transcoder, an audio conversion program, can convert audio files, including WAV and MP4 audio files.
