It's _Ubuntu Linux 18.04_. I've edited my question – codewhiz Dec 11 '19 at 05:36

1I am not completely sure what you mean by 'bitrate quality of 16bit' but I suspect that FFmpeg could help you out with something like: `ffmpeg -i my_input_file.mp3 -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 44100 my_output_file.wav`. Different options for the output wav file can be seen with `ffmpeg -formats | grep PCM`. – andrew.46 Dec 11 '19 at 10:03

SoX is "the Swiss Army knife of audio manipulation". With that tool, you can read and write audio files in different formats, and you even can apply effects to them. Install sox with:
sudo apt install sox
Read about how it works:
man sox
