Should You Upload WAV or MP3 to Spotify?

When it comes to digital audio, there are two main formats that are widely accepted and used worldwide: WAV and MP3. Both of these formats have their own advantages and disadvantages, so which one should you use when uploading music to Spotify?

WAV files are uncompressed audio files and offer excellent sound quality. The downside is that they are much larger than MP3 files, so if you want to upload a large amount of music to Spotify, this may take up a lot of space on your device. Additionally, WAV files tend to be slower when streaming over the internet due to their large file size.

MP3 files are compressed audio files which means they take up less space than WAV files. This makes them ideal for streaming online as they can be streamed quickly, without any loss in sound quality. The downside is that MP3 files don’t have the same level of sound quality as WAV files and can sometimes create a ‘tinny’ sound on certain speakers and systems.

Conclusion:
Ultimately, it depends on your own preferences when it comes to deciding whether you should upload WAV or MP3 files to Spotify. If you want the highest possible sound quality then go for WAV, but if you want quick streaming then go for MP3s.
