WAV Compression – How to Compress WAV File without Quality Loss

The audio size has much to do with the bitrate. And if you can lower the WAV audio bitrate, you can make the WAV file smaller. This approach will help you keep the original audio format but change only the bitrate. But be aware that lower bitrate also leads to lower quality. Therefore, you need to balance the quality and file size compression rate. But frankly, it's hard to tell the difference between 128 kbps and higher bitrate unless you have a HI-FI headphone or player that enables you to sense that. So, it’s alright to decrease bitrate to compress WAV files and you can still get compressed WAV files with decent quality (only that you don’t get the bitrate too low, like under 96 kbps).
