HOW TO CONVERT WV → TTA
Provide the audio file
Drag the WV onto the uploader. Files up to 25 MB run on the free tier without registration; paid plans go up to 2 GB.
ffmpeg handles the conversion
Our ffmpeg-based pipeline reads sample rate and channel layout, then writes a matching TTA with ID3 tags intact.
Save the output
Click to download the TTA. Batch uploads are bundled into a ZIP for single-click retrieval.
Why this pair exists — WV is WavPack's hybrid lossless/lossy audio codec with a correction-file workflow. Ergo, the TTA route. A WV to TTA conversion is typically about compatibility: some players refuse WV, many accept TTA. The audio payload makes the round trip with minimal artefacts when bitrate is left at sensible defaults. Drop a WV file into the uploader and the TTA comes back in seconds. Background. WV is WavPack's hybrid lossless/lossy audio codec with a correction-file workflow. Destination side, TTA is the True Audio lossless codec, fast to decode on low-power devices.
Why convert WV to TTA
Moving from WV to TTA usually buys compatibility or a friendlier file size. For spoken-word content the difference is inaudible; for high-resolution music pick the highest bitrate the TTA codec supports to avoid compounding compression.

WV vs TTA — Strengths and limitations
What each format does best, and where it falls short.
WV Strengths
- Hybrid lossy/lossless mode.
- Supports DSD, 32-bit float, multichannel.
- Competitive compression vs FLAC.
- Active maintenance since 1998.
Limitations
- Small ecosystem.
- Hybrid mode complexity.
- Hardware support limited vs FLAC.
TTA Strengths
- Lossless bit-exact reproduction.
- Fast, low-memory decoding.
- Open-source reference.
- Cue-sheet support.
Limitations
- Compression ratio worse than FLAC.
- Niche tooling.
- Hardware support died with 2000s DAP era.
Quality & Compatibility
Sample rate, channel layout and bit depth are preserved by default: a 44.1 kHz stereo WV becomes a 44.1 kHz stereo TTA. Metadata — title, artist, album, cover art — travels where both formats support it. Protected DRM content cannot be converted legally and is rejected.
Tips for Best Results
- Check the podcast host specification before choosing bitrate — some mandate CBR 64 kbps, others accept VBR up to 192 kbps.
- Preserve ID3 tags by editing them before conversion; Mp3tag and MusicBrainz Picard handle round-tripping cleanly.
- If the WV is 24-bit studio audio, the TTA at 16-bit is sufficient for listening; higher is wasted on consumer playback gear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Lossy-to-lossy conversions (most combinations) re-compress the audio, which technically introduces some loss. At a 192 kbps or higher target it is inaudible on normal equipment. Lossy-to-lossless conversions freeze the existing quality but cannot improve it; lossless-to-lossy transcodes are only as good as the target bitrate you choose.
For voice content (podcasts, audiobooks, lectures) 128 kbps is indistinguishable from higher bitrates. For music, 192-256 kbps covers most listening; 320 kbps is the ceiling for TTA and the right choice for audio you plan to edit further. Above that, prefer a lossless target instead.
Yes. Title, artist, album, year and cover art travel from the WV container to the TTA container automatically where both formats support them. If a tag field has no TTA equivalent, it is dropped silently. Use any tag editor (Mp3tag, MusicBrainz Picard) to fine-tune afterwards.
WavPack Audio
Source formatWavPack is an open-source audio codec that offers lossless, lossy, and hybrid compression modes. Its unique hybrid mode creates a lossy file plus a correction file that together reconstruct the original, enabling flexible storage strategies.
True Audio Lossless
Target formatTTA (True Audio) is an open-source lossless audio codec that provides real-time lossless compression with hardware-friendly decoding. It achieves compression ratios similar to FLAC while maintaining very low CPU requirements during playback.
