if you lot don't really demand the high quality of WAV (like exchanging files for a colab) you might want to use mp3.

saves bandwidth and free energy.

Wavs take me about 10 minutes to upload, mp3s less than a infinitesimal.

I believe sound converts everything to a 128k MP3 anyway. And so you might as well up load information technology that manner. At least and so you are in charge of the conversion and it takes a whole lot less time.

Okay, I�ve got a brand new PC, but I can�t observe an mp3 converter on it. I practise have an one-time version of Sound Forge. Should I just install that and use to convert WAV to mp3, or is there an fifty-fifty simpler way?

I don't think Soundcloud by and large deals in wavs, if at all. It'southward an mp3 site.

If y'all desire to utilise wavs, I'd get to bandcamp if I were you.

from Soundcloud:

Sometimes our transcoding system tin create sound artifacts, every bit nosotros transcode all tracks to 128 kbps mp3 for streaming playback. Uploading a lossless or high-quality lossy file will usually reduce these to a minimum, simply unfortunately in that location's not much we can do for the handful of individual tracks that are nonetheless affected.

If y'all choose to brand your track downloadable though, the version users can download will be an exact copy of the version yous uploaded, without any transcoding.

So, the mode I interpret this is that it�s okay to upload your files as a WAV file, and in fact, information technology will maintain its sonic integrity. It will only accept longer to upload. Is that the gist of it, or am I missing something?

Not completely--upload the wav and when they make an mp3 of it, information technology will probably sound ok. I definitely hear artifacts just that's life. And if someone wants to 'download' your runway, as if they purchased information technology or something like that, and then they tin download your wav file (if you uploaded i, that is).

I don't have the fastest connexion (satellite) and since I figure most people are streaming anyway (although I do enable the download role), I upload MP3s at 128 or 320.

"Isn�t in that location a way in Windows Media Player to convert a WAV file to mp3? "

Howdy Chris ,yes at that place is a mode to convert Wave files to mp3s on the Windows Media system!
Just open the windows media player,get to the peak of the page,click just under "RIP" and select MP3,then Rip the moving ridge file from your CD burner or hard drive to mp3 and store on your Hard disk.I continue it unproblematic by using Nero 9,which you lot can compile and convert your tracks and name them.On Nero you can click on "Create and Edit",and so "Convert Sound Files",then select output every bit mp3s and name them. On Sound Deject,I always upload to mp3s for sharing. Good luck.
Bob

i think it does matter.

why employ WAV when a mp3 is perfectly fine for non-critical missions?

WAVs are about half-dozen to 10 times the size of an average MP3.

which means it takes more than energy and resource to store and transmit.
more energy ways more than pollution.

come on folks, permit's think Green a little.
why waste when at that place is no need to???
