Overview

Convert AAC to WAV for audio editing, CD burning, production workflows and compatibility

Decode AAC, HE-AAC and M4A tracks to uncompressed WAV for editing, mixing, CD authoring or applications that require PCM input. Convert individual files or entire folders in one batch. WAV stores the decoded signal without further lossy compression, but it cannot restore detail removed during the original AAC encoding.

Convert AAC to WAV with high-precision audio processing

EZ CD Audio Converter converts AAC files to WAV with a 64-bit audio engine, professional quality sample rate converter and accurate codec processing. Create clean, reliable output from albums, folders and high-resolution audio sources.

The converter uses a 64-bit floating-point audio engine, high-precision sample rate conversion, dithering options, gapless audio support, and built-in codecs for AAC, WAV, MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, xHE-AAC, Opus, Vorbis, DSD, Apple Lossless and more.

Convert AAC files, albums and folders to WAV

Convert AAC to WAV in a few clicks. Add AAC files, complete albums or entire music folders, choose WAV as the output format and select the quality settings you need. The batch converter is designed for both single files and large music collections.

Audio file integrity is preserved by retaining metadata and album art throughout the AAC to WAV conversion process. Preserve the original folder structure or create new folder and file names from metadata such as artist, album, track number and title. Converting AAC to WAV does not restore information removed by AAC compression, but it creates an uncompressed editing-friendly output file.

Securely rip Audio CDs to AAC and WAV

Rip Audio CDs directly to WAV without lossy encoding, or create smaller AAC listening copies. Advanced error detection and optional two-pass sector-by-sector CRC comparison help flag inconsistent reads. Save available CD-Text, ISRC and UPC/EAN information and review detailed ripping logs.

CD Burning Made Easy

Burn high-quality Audio CDs complete with CD-Text from FLAC, MP3 and virtually any audio format. Create discs fully compatible with standard CD players or quickly burn MP3 and data discs for easy music storage and playback.

Why use desktop AAC to WAV converter software?

Online AAC to WAV converters can be convenient for a few small files, but desktop music converter software is better for large folders, private music libraries, high-resolution audio and advanced conversion settings. Keep your files on your computer and control quality, metadata and folder organization.

Built-in Audio Codecs for High-Quality AAC to WAV Conversion

All audio codecs are included within the software. There is no need to get additional audio codecs from external sources.

All encoders and decoders work in high-resolution mode (32-bit float or better). High-resolution mode ensures no added noise or processing loss when converting from lossless or high-resolution sources, including AAC to WAV, or when transcoding between supported audio formats.

Lossless Audio Conversion for FLAC, WAV, ALAC and AIF

All lossless PCM codecs such as FLAC, WAV, Apple Lossless, AIFF, APE, AU, TTA, and W64, preserve the source bit-depth (up to 64-bit floating point) by default ("Auto" mode) unless the desired output bit-depth is not explicitly configured. Use FLAC for lossless archiving and convert FLAC to MP3 when you need smaller, widely compatible files.
