Part 1. What is WAV? Why Need to Convert Apple Music to WAV?

Waveform Audio (.WAV)
The Waveform Audio File Format (WAV), also known as WAVE, is an audio file format. It is considered a "first-generation" format with no compression except with some manipulations in order to store the sound digitally, resulting in larger sizes compared to formats like MP3 and WMA. It stores raw audio that does not need special encoders/decoders to use, making it a very good standard for exchange with different platforms or operating systems such as Windows, Mac and Unix, Windows Media Player, MusicBee, VLC, iTunes, QuickTime, Microsoft Groove Music, Winamp, Clementine, XMMS, and probably other popular media player apps.

Apple Music AAC (.m4p) vs. WAV
Typically, Apple Music used AAC to encode its streaming music content. An M4P file is actually Apple's AAC format. Apple Music's AAC (.m4p) is a protected, compressed audio format (MPEG-4) used for downloaded subscription music. This means users can only access and enjoy the downloaded music tracks within the Apple Music app or iTunes. By comparison, WAV is a high-quality, largely uncompressed audio format, excellent for professional editing and playback.

	Apple Music AAC (.m4p)	WAV
DRM-protected	Yes	No
Audio Bitrate	Compressed, about 256kbps	Uncompressed, nearly CDs at 1,411 kbps at 16 bit
Compatibility	Apple Music app, iTunes	WAM, VLC, iTunes, QuickTime, MusicBee, Poweramp, etc.

For these reasons, many people may want to convert Apple Music to WAV files. The most efficient way to do so is to utilize a professional Apple Music to WAV converter. keep reading.
