WMA vs WAV
WAV is lossless, but it can't restore detail already removed by WMA's compression — the file just gets bigger. Convert when an app or editor requires WAV.

About WMA and WAV
WMA: WMA is Microsoft's audio format, common on older Windows PCs, MP3 players and CD rips made with Windows Media Player.
WAV: WAV stores uncompressed PCM audio, so it keeps every bit of the original sound. Files are large, but WAV is the standard for audio editing, studios and professional software.
