Convert WAV to M4B

WAV, short for Waveform Audio File Format, is a standard audio file format developed by IBM and Microsoft in 1991. It is widely used for storing uncompressed audio data on Windows systems. WAV files are known for their high audio quality and large file sizes, making them suitable for professional audio editing and applications where audio fidelity is paramount. The format supports various bit depths and sampling rates, enabling versatile audio data manipulation. WAV files are often used in professional audio recording, editing, and mastering due to their ability to maintain audio integrity without compression artifacts.

M4B, which stands for MPEG-4 Audiobook, is a file extension specifically used for audiobooks. It falls under the MPEG-4 Part 14 container format, derived from Apple's implementation of MPEG-4 multimedia. M4B files typically support metadata and chapters, enabling users to bookmark their place in an audiobook and resume listening later. Unlike standard MP3 files, M4B files can incorporate Digital Rights Management (DRM) for copyright protection. Originating from the early 2000s, the M4B format gained popularity with the rise of Apple's iTunes Store and its focus on digital audiobook distribution. Today, M4B remains a standard for digital audiobooks, known for its advanced features and compatibility with various devices.
