Incorrect file extension when downloading audio file using react-voice-recorder-player (audio.wav)

[faizaniqbalLC]

I am using react-voice-recorder-player for audio recording and downloading, but I am experiencing an issue where the downloaded audio file is being saved with audio.wav extension instead of the desired .mp3 extension. This makes it difficult for me to work with the file as I need it to be in the .mp3 format.

I have updated code inside \src\components\controllers\index.tsx. You can check, It's working fine with audio.mp3.

You'll need to test the complete functionality of the package before we can merge it.

You will need to test it across all main browsers:

• Safari
• Chrome
• Edge
• Firefox

On both desktop and mobile devices. And if you have access to Mac and Windows laptops, then test on both of them as well.

Here is what you'll need to test:

• Record and playback is working as expected
• Audio can be downloaded and played on your device

Afaik, the playback functionality does not work properly on Safari unless you set the Audio File extension to wav. This is why it's been explicitly defined in the codebase. Please state your reason for wanting to set the extension to mp3. If its only because it is convenient to play mp3 files on windows then I'm afraid we can't merge this PR.

I understand this. But please explain why you want this implemented? Why do you need mp3 format?

What issue are you facing? From what I gather from your initial message, you would prefer the format to be in mp3 instead of wav. That is not an issue, it's a preference. Please clarify the exact issue you're facing and then we can proceed with making any required changes. Thanks.
