How to Batch Convert WAV to MP3

We need a batch audio converter to convert multiple .wav files to .mp3 format at one go. Such tools include WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro, which is the best audio file converter I highly recommend to everyone.

The software is an easy-to-use PC application. No in-depth technical knowledge is required, and any conversion can be done in just a few clicks. To batch convert files, you just need to import all the files you want to convert, select the target format, and it will convert them simultaneously. In addition to WAV and MP3 formats, it also supports other mainstream input and output files. Moreover, it also allows you to modify settings such as audio codec, sample rate, bit rate, channels, and volume to control the output quality.

Next, let me show you how to bulk convert WAV to MP3. Download Download the software to get started:

Although Audacity is primarily known as an audio recorder and editor, it can also convert between audio formats. This functionality makes it possible to change WAV audio to MP3. Moreover, it supports converting an entire folder of WAV files at once. Just go and make sure you install the latest version of Audacity and follow the steps below:

Note: The LAME MP3 Encoder is built-in with Audacity now. However, Linux users still need to install the third-party LAME encoder.

Step 1. Open Audacity. In the File menu on top of the home screen, choose Import > Audio... (hotkey: Ctrl + Shift + I) or drag all your WAV files into the software. All your files will be displayed in the same window.

Tip: Put all your WAV files in one folder beforehand for immediate importing.

Step 2. Still in the File menu, select Export > Export Multiple... (hotkey: Ctrl + Shift + L).

Step 3. In the pop-up window, choose an export destination for your files and continue to select MP3 Files in the Format drop-down list. Then on the lower-left side, choose to split files based on tracks. You may alter other options of your files or just leave it as default. When everything is ready, click Export to batch convert your WAV files to MP3.

Tip: After clicking Export, it will show up the metadata of each file, check Don't show this when exporting audio, then hit OK to make them disappear.

Batch converting WAV files to MP3 is a simple task with tools like WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro and Audacity. In comparison, I recommend WonderFox (download download) because it is more intuitive and faster, and it supports more formats and provides other practical functions such as compression, downloading, recording, etc. However, if you want more professional editing of your audio, Audacity is the better choice.
