WAV — Waveform Audio File Format
| File extension | .wav .wave |
|---|---|
| File category | audio |
| Programs | Windows Media Player VLC media player Audacity Apple iTunes Winamp |
| Tech description | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV |
| MIME type | audio/wav audio/x-wav |
| Developer | Microsoft, IBM |
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio container developed by Microsoft and IBM, introduced with Windows 3.1 in 1991. WAV stores raw PCM audio data — typically 16-bit or 24-bit samples at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz — making it the standard format for professional audio editing, broadcast production, and sound archiving. Because WAV is uncompressed, files are large (approximately 10 MB per minute at CD quality), but no encoding artifacts are introduced, ensuring pristine audio fidelity. WAV is natively supported by Windows, macOS, and virtually all digital audio workstations including Audacity, Adobe Audition, and Logic Pro.

| 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.
