Question 1

What is a WAV file?

Accepted Answer

WAV is an audio container commonly used for uncompressed PCM audio, although it can contain other audio encodings. This player accepts.wav files, and playback depends on whether your browser supports the audio encoding inside the file.

Question 2

Is my WAV file uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. Your file is played locally in your browser and is never sent to our server. The temporary browser reference to your file is removed when you replace the file, remove it, or leave the page.

Question 3

Why won’t my WAV file play?

Accepted Answer

WAV files can contain different audio encodings, and your browser may not support the encoding used by a particular file. Playback can also fail if the file is damaged or incorrectly named. If the browser cannot load or play it, the player shows an error and stops playback. Try a different browser or convert the file to another audio format.

Question 4

Can I change the playback speed or loop the audio?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After selecting a file, you can play or pause it, seek to a different position, turn looping on or off, and adjust the volume from 0% to 100%. The available playback speeds are 0.5×, 0.75×, 1×, 1.25×, 1.5×, and 2×.
