How to convert wve to wav file

  • Audio
  • No ratings yet.

Psion recordings and Nero WaveEditor projects may need WAV output to open in audio software that does not support their original format. The correct conversion method depends on which kind of WVE file you have.

What the WVE format is

WVE is an ambiguous extension in audio: it can identify Psion Series 3 recordings encoded as 8-bit A-law, or project files created by Nero WaveEditor. These formats are different; a Nero project is not the same as a Psion recording, and software that reads one may not read the other.

What the WAV format is

WAV is an audio container widely supported by players and editing software. It commonly holds uncompressed PCM audio, which avoids additional lossy encoding but uses more storage than compressed audio.

Online on 101convert.com

  1. Upload the WVE file on this page. Several files can be added for batch conversion; the page shows the per-file size limit.
  2. Set the sample rate or channel count if needed.
  3. Start the conversion and download the WAV file.

The converter uses FFmpeg. It can convert WVE audio that FFmpeg recognizes; a Nero WaveEditor project may not be readable as an audio stream.

Offline with desktop software

FFmpeg is free and open source for Windows, macOS, and Linux. For a Psion WVE recording, run ffmpeg -i input.wve -c:a pcm_s16le output.wav. This writes 16-bit PCM audio in a WAV container; replace the filenames as needed. If FFmpeg cannot read the file, it may be a Nero WaveEditor project rather than a Psion recording.

For a Nero WaveEditor project, open it in Nero WaveEditor on Windows, then choose File → Open and select the WVE file. Use File → Save As, choose WAV as the output format, and save. This method requires Nero WaveEditor and applies to its own project files, not Psion WVE recordings.

Quality and compatibility

Psion WVE audio uses lossy A-law encoding, so converting it to WAV does not restore detail discarded during the original encoding. Increasing the sample rate or channel count cannot add source audio information. If a file is rejected, identify the program or device that created it before choosing a converter.
