AU format for reliable data storage
| File extension | .au .snd |
|---|---|
| File category | audio |
| Programs | VLC media player Audacity MPlayer Xine Sox |
| Tech description | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au_file_format |
| MIME type | audio/basic audio/au |
| Developer | Sun Microsystems |
This audio format was developed by Sun Microsystems. It is intended for storing audio files; the file itself consists of three components: the header, the annotation unit, and the audio file itself. What distinguishes this format is the small file size, due to which its sound quality is low. It can be converted into other formats, such as mp3 or MPEG. Although this format is mostly used on personal computers that are powered by operating systems Sun or Unix, AU files can also be opened using other audio players.

MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3)

| Tech description | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3 |
| MIME type | audio/mp3 |
| Developer | Fraunhofer Society |
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) is a lossy audio compression format developed by Fraunhofer IIS in Germany and standardized in 1993. It achieves compression ratios up to 10:1 by removing audio data deemed imperceptible by the human ear, using a psychoacoustic model. Users can set the bitrate — typically 128 to 320 kbps — to balance file size and audio quality. MP3 is the world's most universally supported audio format, compatible with virtually every media player, smartphone, smart TV, and car audio system. Despite newer alternatives like AAC and Opus offering better quality at the same bitrate, MP3 remains the standard for music distribution and storage.
