HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, no account, nothing to install.
01
Upload your AT3 file
Drag and drop a .at3 file from a PSP or PS3 game, such as a SND0.AT3 menu theme, or select it from your device.
02
Convert to WAV
Keep WAV as the output format and start. The ATRAC3 or ATRAC3plus audio is decoded to 16-bit PCM.
03
Download the WAV
Download one WAV per AT3 file. It opens in Audacity, Reaper, FL Studio, Adobe Audition and other audio editors.
AT3
AT3 files hold Sony's ATRAC3 or ATRAC3plus compressed audio in a RIFF/WAVE container. PSP and PS3 games use them for music, voices and sound effects, including the SND0.AT3 music that the PSP's XMB menu plays when a game is selected. Phones, browsers and most audio editors can't play them.
WAV
WAV is a RIFF-based audio format commonly used for uncompressed PCM audio. It is easy to edit and broadly supported in recording, broadcast, and desktop audio workflows.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
AT3 files hold Sony's ATRAC3 or ATRAC3plus audio in a RIFF container, written by Sony's tools for PSP and PS3 games. The PSP's game menu plays each game's SND0.AT3 as background music. ATRAC is a lossy codec close to MiniDisc's, and normal players can't decode it.
TARGET
Microsoft and IBM defined WAV in 1991. It normally stores plain PCM audio with no compression, which is why editors, DAWs, broadcast systems and speech tools accept it without question. The price is size: CD-quality stereo takes about 10 MB per minute, and tagging support is limited.
| Feature | AT3 | WAV |
|---|---|---|
| Developed by | Sony | Microsoft and IBM |
| File extension | .at3 | .wav |
| Compression | Lossy (ATRAC3 / ATRAC3plus) | None (PCM) |
| Size vs uncompressed WAV | About 1/10 | Same size (1:1) |
| Tags and cover art | Loop points | Basic text tags, no cover art |
| Best for | PSP and PS3 game audio | Editing, mastering, speech tools |
| Plays on phones and browsers | No, needs vgmstream | Yes |
USE CASES
Practical workflows where AT3 to WAV conversion is useful.
Remix PSP and PS3 music in a DAW
Load the WAV into Reaper, FL Studio or Ableton Live to remix or sample a game track.
Edit a sound for a game mod
Decode an .at3 voice line or sound effect to WAV, edit it in an audio editor, then encode it back with Sony's tools for a PSP or PS3 mod.
Clean up voice lines
Run noise reduction or level matching on game dialogue in Audacity or Adobe Audition, starting from uncompressed PCM.
Build a fan soundtrack album
Fans compiling a soundtrack can normalize and tag tracks starting from WAV instead of a re-compressed MP3.
Hear a looped track as a full piece
Music that loops over part of the track comes out with one more pass of the loop and a 10 s fade-out, so it ends naturally. A whole-track loop plays once.
Use a SND0.AT3 theme as a video source
Import the WAV of a SND0.AT3 theme into Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve as a clean audio source for an edit.
Archive game audio as PCM
Keep uncompressed WAV copies of a game's .at3 files so they open in any audio software later on.
Re-encode to another format once
Use the WAV as a clean intermediate for FLAC, AAC or Opus in your own encoder, so the audio is compressed only one more time.
Sample sound effects
Producers can chop PSP and PS3 sound effects and voice clips in a sampler, which reads WAV directly.
Study game audio in class
Sound design students can open the waveform and spectrum of a PSP or PS3 track in any editor to see how it was mixed.
SUPPORTED FILES
AT3 files from PSP and PS3 games are supported.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Game audio works differently from normal music files, which explains most surprises.
01
Looping game music is rendered the way the game plays it: the looped section plays once more, then fades out over 10 seconds. A loop covering the whole track plays once.
02
Truncated rips fail instead of giving partial audio. Rip the file again.
03
DRM-protected OpenMG files can't be decoded.
04
The file is damaged, isn't really AT3 audio, or was extracted with the wrong tool. Extract it again from the game files and retry.
05
WAV is uncompressed, about 10 MB per minute for 44.1 kHz stereo and more for higher rates or extra channels.
06
Those consoles use AT9. Use our AT9 to WAV converter.
vgmstream is the reference decoder for game audio, used through foobar2000 or the command line. dragdropdo runs the same decoder in the browser, so you can turn AT3 into WAV on any device.
| What matters | dragdropdo | vgmstream and Desktop Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Nothing to install | ✓Yes. Runs in any modern browser. | ~foobar2000 plus the vgmstream plugin, or vgmstream-cli. |
| Works on phones and tablets | ✓Yes. Desktop, Android, iPhone and iPad. | ~No. Windows and command-line tools. |
| Batch conversion | ✓Yes. Add many files and download one ZIP. | ~Yes, with scripts or foobar2000's converter. |

| Pricing | ✓Free with daily limits. $2.99 or $6.99 passes for unlimited use, no monthly plan. | ~Free. |
| Choosing loop count and fade | ✓Fixed: an inner loop plays twice, then fades over 10 seconds. | ~Yes. vgmstream-cli sets the loop count and fade length. |
Other tools use different pricing, limits and workflows. This comparison describes dragdropdo's own features without assuming every other tool works the same way.
