Waveform Audio File Format (.wav)

WAV, short for Waveform Audio File Format, is a standard audio file format developed by IBM and Microsoft in 1991. It is widely used for storing uncompressed audio data on Windows systems. WAV files are known for their high audio quality and large file sizes, making them suitable for professional audio editing and applications where audio fidelity is paramount. The format supports various bit depths and sampling rates, enabling versatile audio data manipulation. WAV files are often used in professional audio recording, editing, and mastering due to their ability to maintain audio integrity without compression artifacts.

Windows Media Audio (.wma)

The WMA file extension, Windows Media Audio, developed by Microsoft in 1999, offers high-quality audio at lower bitrates compared to MP3. It includes sub-formats like WMA Pro for high-resolution audio, WMA Lossless for perfect sound preservation, and WMA Voice for efficient spoken word compression. Despite its excellent audio quality and efficient compression, WMA's proprietary nature limits its support outside the Windows ecosystem.
