YouTube’s recommended file format is MPEG4 (.mp4) — which is fine unless you are using a device or media player that isn’t compatible with that file type. Downloading videos from YouTube and converting them to WAV files is a simple process, and makes it easy to view videos in that format.

What is a WAV File?

A WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) file is a raw audio file type created by Microsoft and IBM. This kind of file uses containers to store audio data, track numbers, sample rate, and bit rate.

WAV files are easily edited using common audio editing software.

WAV files, unlike MP3 files, are “lossless audio” and uncompressed so they can take up a lot of space on your hard drive. For this reason, WAV files are often used when recording music with maximum audio quality.

If you’re still searching for an easy way to convert YouTube to .wav files, I have the perfect tool for you. I will share a free way to download and convert YouTube to WAV through your PC or mobile phone.
