About MP2 and WAV Formats

What is MP2?

MP2 is the predecessor to MP3, standardised in 1993. It is still used in DAB digital radio, DVB television and Video CDs because it is robust and simple to decode.

Commonly used for:

  • Broadcast radio and TV
  • Video CD and some DVD audio
  • Broadcast playout systems

What is WAV?

WAV was introduced by Microsoft and IBM in 1991 and stores audio as uncompressed PCM samples. CD-quality stereo WAV (16-bit, 44.1 kHz) uses about 10 MB per minute, and every audio editor, DAW and media player can open it.

  • Recording, editing and mixing in any DAW
  • Mastering and archiving at full quality
  • Broadcast, sampling and sound-design work
  • Maximum compatibility with hardware and software

Why convert MP2 to WAV?

Most consumer software no longer plays MP2 reliably; WAV makes broadcast audio easy to edit and archive.

MP2 is a lossy compressed format, typically 1-2.5 MB per minute. WAV is uncompressed (about 10 MB per minute at CD quality), so the WAV will usually be 5-10x larger.
