WV to CAF conversion is the process of transforming an audio file encoded in the WavPack (WV) format into Apple Core Audio Format (CAF). This conversion repackages or decodes WV's lossless or hybrid-compressed audio into CAF containers, enabling broader compatibility with macOS, iOS, and professional audio tools that prefer CAF's flexible metadata and codec support.
