I export all my stuff as wav files and having to convert them to mp3 beforehand is a bit clunky and time consuming, why the upload tool cant convert to ogg idk

Best method to convert to .ogg is usually by exporting to .wav format first. Import this audio to Audacity and export to .ogg. It does not hurt the quality too much, but make sure you set the quality on around 6-8.

.wav is used in all the Samples I bought, all the sound FX I have licensed for commercial use.
MP3 doesn’t even loop correctly, we only have .ogg support essentially. More work for a bastardized product.
Please support .wav format.

This would be a really handy feature, as I also almost always use .wav instead of .mp3 or .ogg.
Time to switch over to FL Studio! 
Kidding aside, I would definitely support a feature like this.

WAV support and conversion would be really convenient.
For easy or mass conversion, I use FFmpeg.
ffmpeg -i "audio.wav" -acodec libvorbis "audio.ogg"

I need this. I use some third-party resources for sounds and they often only have .wav as a file format for downloading sounds. To have to convert it to mp3 or ogg is an annoying process when uploading it directly should be supported.

Roblox to invest in audio as much as Unreal did, would be awesome. Allowing one to create some audibly intense moments. lol

It’s still wild that in 2023 the only formats you can upload audio to Roblox in are MP3 (proprietary) and OGG. Roblox should support, at the very least, WAV like Unity and Unreal Engine 5.

I mean there is a reason this isn’t added though. .wav is lossless audio format so it easily ends up big in file size. .mp3 and .ogg are lossy audio formats aimed for low file size.
Not like im against .wav addition, but i feel like this is why roblox won’t potentially add this. This could affect ppl with poor connection marginally. Could at least allow us to let roblox do the job of converting .wav to supported format.
That’s only my opinion why wouldn’t roblox add .wav format, but again, I’m not trying to make it yet another “but this will nuke the mobile phones if X is done!!!” excuse. Of course .wav addition is possible, if roblox wants to.

They do.
This feature request does not imply that the 20 MB file size limit should be removed. I don’t see an issue. It’s not that big in memory. And that’s the developer’s fault if things get too resource intensive on the client.
also, when are we going to be able to have the option to not automatically compress MP3s into OGGs?

The thing is, there’s some websites that can let you change the format of your audio, but still, meh, i wish it was built in to support .wav [Edit: ITS NOW FINALLY ADDED]

Tbh I can see a benefit in this.
Might as well add flac support as well (compressed wav, lossless but can save up to 60% disc space).
I like keeping high quality back-ups and sounds on my PC in flac or wav format.
Converting to ogg is usually not an issue for me but it would be a nice quality of life upgrade if Roblox did that during the upload process.
Roblox USED to support wav files if I recall but support was removed for some odd reason.
Anyways, ogg is a pretty common and handy format for sound and music in games, it’s high quality, perceptionally lossless due advanced psychoacoustic lossy encoding algorithms and super small in size.
Not needing to convert flac/wav to ogg though would save me a bit of time.

Stiiiiiill waiting for this… It would save me from converting 200 footstep sounds into ogg’s.

I think the title needs an update. From “Support for .wav files” to “Support for auto-conversions from .wav files to .ogg” sound more accurate. It is misleading as if it says “host .wav files on Roblox platform” which isn’t really great for one reason. The sound format files are humongous relative to the other formats.

Quick tip: Use ffmpeg! It’s very simple to get going and can mass-convert files with the use of scripts.

My friend was surprised to see wav file pass through until he noticed this.
Though I feel like it is automatically converted to lossy audio format, since this is a quiet change and there was no confirmation on that.

Hi! That’s correct, the ability to upload FLAC and WAV files was added a couple of months ago to both the Creator’s Hub and the Studio Uploader.
All the new formats are later converted to OGG, but this improvement should hopefully make it easier to upload more formats without needing to transcode them locally first.
