WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a file format created and owned by Microsoft. It has become a popular digital audio format, because it is an efficient way to store full-fidelity music and sound in much less space compared to uncompressed audio such as WAV. It works with the Windows Media Player, where users can manage WMA audio files. The files are compressed to reduce their size, without any loss of quality. This makes it easier and faster to download them and saves disk space. WMA files can also be used in portable devices such as smartphones, tablets, mobile phones, game consoles or MP3 players. | The WAV file format (also known as WAVE, Waveform audio format, or audio for windows) is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard used for storing audio data. It is a widely-recognized and powerful audio format widely used for CD-quality audio and professional music production. As an uncompressed audio file, it uses pulse code modulation (PCM) to digitally encode data. This results in a large file size compared to compressed formats like MP3 or AAC. WAV files have several advantages over other file types. It is widely supported by most operating systems, audio applications and playback hardware. It offers lossless audio quality and maximum compatibility across multiple platforms. The majority of sampled audio libraries are stored in WAV format, making it the ideal format for music playback and production. |
