MP3 Decoder FAQ
What It Is An MP3 decoder is a software program that converts MP3 to another format. However, when most people mention MP3 decoder, they are talking about a program to convert MP3 to WAV.
Why You Would Want An MP3 DecoderSince most CD players cannot play MP3 format, mp3 decoders are used to convert MP3 to WAV before burning the files to a CD. The resulting WAV files can be played on any CD player. Most MP3 files are probably downloaded from free sites or with file sharing devices and then converted to WAV for custom audio CD creation.
