What happens when you convert WAV to AAC

The tool re-encodes your uncompressed WAV with AAC, the codec behind YouTube and most streaming platforms. You get a fraction of the file size with quality that, at the same bitrate, generally edges out MP3.

Output is a raw .aac stream (ADTS). Some encoding pipelines and broadcast tools ask for exactly this. If you want AAC for everyday playback with tags and cover art, M4A is the friendlier package.

Picking between AAC, M4A, and MP3

Raw .aac: for tools and pipelines that explicitly want an ADTS stream. M4A: same AAC audio in an MP4 wrapper with metadata support, ideal for Apple devices and general use. MP3: lower efficiency but unmatched compatibility with old hardware.

When in doubt for personal listening, choose WAV to M4A instead.
