FAQs

Why convert TEX to WV?

Convert to WV when you need lossless audio in a WavPack-based environment, especially for personal archives, high-resolution collections, or workflows that may later use hybrid/correction features.

It is appropriate when technical efficiency and exact fidelity matter more than broad casual playback support.

For widest lossless compatibility, FLAC is usually the easier default.
