WAV in iTunes - Add WAV files to iTunes on Mac/PC

Here is a step by step guide which introduces an easy and fast way to play WAV on iPhone, WAV on iPod, and WAV on iPad from iTunes.

With the popularity of Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod, most Apple fans and audiophiles like to listen to the high-quality music on the loved Apple device and iTunes, thus we always need to download and import other music to iTunes. 

Can iTunes play WAV files? 

WAV is an audio file format that was developed by Microsoft, which is so wide spread today that it is called a standard PC audio file format. And iTunes supports five different audio formats. You can see them by choosing iTunes > Preferences, clicking the General tab, then clicking Import Settings. iTunes now can read, write and convert between MP3, AIFF, WAV, MPEG-4, AAC and Apple Lossless (.m4a). 

Though iTunes announced to support WAV audio file, you will be disappointed when adding WAV to iTunes, and and you may find the web is swarmed with similar queries like "Why iTunes won't play WAV somtimetimes" or "How to add WAV to iTunes". Continue reading this article you will get two effective solutions to convert WAV audio to iTunes for sycing/playing as below.

Step by Step Guide on How to Convert and Import WAV to iTunes

Step 1 Add WAV files

After downloading, you can install and run the WAV to iTunes Converter. To load WAV files to this app, you can go to "Add File" from the main menu to browse your hard disk to select the WAV audio files. Also, you can directly drag one or several WAV files to the software, it won't take you too long until. If you want to be more cautious, you can always make a duplicate folder of your master copies. It is always a good practice to have a back-up.



Step 2 Set output format

Click "Select Format" drop-down button to choose "MP3", "AIFF" or  etc as output formats from "Format > Audio" category. If you care about the quality of the output file, just choose "WAV" or "M4A" as output format from "Format > Audio" category. An MP3 tends to offer a higher room of flexibility in the situation that you might want to share those audios with family or friends that happen to use non-Apple devices, whereas an M4A might still be subjected to the DRM.

At this time, you can also set output directory, so you can get the output files as soon as the conversion is finished. To do this, you need to click "..." of the program window to specify the output folder.

Step 3 Edit before converting WAV files to iTunes (Optional)

Step 4 Modify Audio Parameters (Optional)
Before starting conversion, advanced users are allowed to modify audio parameters. Open Settings Window, you can change audio bitrate, encoder, audio channel and sample rate.



Step 5 End the conversion

In the end, just click the conspicuous "Start" button to perform WAV iTunes conversion efficiently on Mac/Windows PC. The process will take you some time, which mainly depends on the size of all imported WAV files and the performance of your computer.

Now, you can really play WAV on iTunes, just drag and drop the output files (.mp3 files) from the output folder to iTunes music library.
