Convert WAV file to MP3 and other formats using FFmpeg

Overview WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) files are uncompressed, resulting in high audio quality but also large file sizes. On the other hand, MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III) files are compressed, making them much smaller while retaining decent audio quality. This conversion and compression is advantageous for saving storage space and for easier sharing and distribution of audio files, especially over the internet. With tools like FFmpeg, you can seamlessly convert WAV to MP3, enabling you to enjoy the benefits of smaller file sizes without sacrificing audio quality.
