Convert FLAC to WAV for audio editing, mastering, CD burning and production workflows
Decode lossless FLAC to uncompressed WAV for audio editing, mastering, mixing and CD production. Convert tracks, albums or entire folders in one job. PCM samples can remain bit-exact when the sample rate and bit depth are unchanged and no DSP processing is applied; metadata transfer depends on the destination WAV tag support.
Convert FLAC to WAV with high-precision audio processing
EZ CD Audio Converter converts FLAC 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 FLAC, WAV, MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, xHE-AAC, Opus, Vorbis, DSD, Apple Lossless and more.
Convert FLAC files, albums and folders to WAV
Convert FLAC to WAV in a few clicks. Add FLAC 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 FLAC 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. Use WAV output when a DAW, editor or hardware device needs uncompressed PCM audio.
Securely rip Audio CDs to FLAC and WAV
Rip Audio CDs directly to lossless FLAC archives or uncompressed WAV files. Advanced error detection and optional two-pass sector-by-sector CRC comparison help identify unreliable reads. Preserve available CD-Text, ISRC and UPC/EAN data 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 FLAC to WAV converter software?
Online FLAC 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 FLAC 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 FLAC to WAV, or when transcoding between supported audio formats.
Lossy and DSD codecs
| Encoder | Input bit depth | Encoder precision |
|---|---|---|
| AAC-LC & HE-AAC (v2) | 32-bit floating point | 32-bit floating point |
| xHE-AAC | 32-bit floating point | 32-bit floating point |
| MP3 | 32-bit floating point | 32-bit floating point |
| DSD | 32-bit floating point | 64-bit floating point |
| Vorbis | 32-bit floating point | 32-bit floating point |
| Opus | 32-bit floating point | 32-bit floating point |
| Musepack | 32-bit floating point | 32-bit floating point |

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.
