The PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) file is an uncompressed digital audio file that can store recordings in raw digital audio. PCM files usually store the audio data samples in WAV and AIFF file formats. The WAV file is the most common file used for storing PCM recordings.
If you have some PCM audio recordings and cannot play them, converting PCM to MP3 can make the audio files playable on any device and player.
The following shares two ways to convert PCM to MP3 with high quality on the desktop and online. Read on to choose a suitable way.

💡 Tip: Can’t import your MP3 files? Check the possible reasons and fixes.
Press the right-side format image to open the output format library. Switch to the "Audio" tab and choose the "MP3" format.
Open the "Parameter settings" window and navigate to the "Audio settings" section. Here, you can modify the audio bitrate, sample rate, channels, and volume to your desires. Then press "OK" to save your change.
🎯 Note that since PCM is a lossless format while MP3 is a lossy format, the PCM to MP3 conversion will inevitably cause quality loss. You can set the audio bitrate to 320 kbps to keep the best quality. But for most users, 192 kbps is a good compromise that offers decent quality while keeping a small file size.
Click the bottom ▼ button to specify an output path. Now, hit the "Run" button to start the PCM to MP3 conversion.
Once the conversion is finished, a window will pop up to show you the folder you set for the exported files. You can then enjoy or share the converted files.

Yes. WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro and Aspose can help you convert PCM to MP3 with no hassle. The detailed conversion steps are outlined in this post.
To listen to PCM audio files, you can use popular players like VLC Player, MPlayer, or Adobe Audition.
Moreover, you can also convert PCM audio files to common audio formats like MP3 for playback on any device and player.
PCM is a digital audio format that is uncompressed and lossless, which offers higher audio quality than MP3. However, the higher audio quality also leads to a large file size, making this format not suitable for recording long audio. Then, MP3 is a better choice for the excellent balance between the audio file size and quality.
