How do I convert WAVPCM to AU using LetsConvert?

Upload your WAVPCM file, select AU as the target format, choose your desired PCM encoding (e.g., 16-bit linear) if prompted, and click Convert. The AU file will be generated directly from the PCM data and downloaded to your device.

Why should I convert WAVPCM to AU instead of keeping the original WAV file?

AU is the native audio container on Sun/NeXT systems and is commonly used in Java applets and legacy Unix media tools. Converting WAVPCM to AU preserves the uncompressed PCM payload while adapting the header so the file can be recognized by those platforms. Both formats have similar file sizes, but AU's simpler header is often preferred for embedded or constrained environments.

What audio attributes are preserved when converting WAVPCM to AU?

The conversion transfers sample rate, bit depth, and channel count exactly because both formats support raw linear PCM. However, the RIFF/WAVE container metadata from WAVPCM, such as cue points or broadcast wave extensions, is not carried over. The audio payload itself is bit-identical, only the wrapper changes to AU's 24-byte header.
