WAV Compression

[CincoBoa]

Hi all
I got a page from my friend(the author), well, it is really useful for music lovers, so if you are interested in it, you can take a view, thanks!
WAV is one of the most commonly used formats for music enthusiasts, which stores two-channel LPCM audio sampled 44,100 times per second with 16 bits per sample. So the quality of the WAV file is almost the same as CD 44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo, hence, WAV is known as the closest lossless music format. But usually WAV audio will occupy large space, how to compress its size?
1.Reduce audio bitrate to a suitable file size. For example, you can change the bitrate from 160 kbps to 128 kbps.
2. The simplest and most effective way to reduce the size of the audio file is to convert to lossy audio format. As we know, MP3 is a frequently-used lossy format with powerful compatibility. You can convert WAV file to MP3 format for file compression. (Source from http://www.videoconverterfactory.com...-wav-file.html)
