WAV & WMA
WAV format
WAV is a format for storing sound in files developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM. WAV sound files end with .wav extension and can be played by nearly all Windows applications that support sound.
WMA format
The WMA format stands for Windows Media Audio. It's owned by Microsoft, part of Microsoft's Windows Media technology. According to independent testing it sounds as good as MP3 at half the bit rate (and therefore half the file size). WMA is downloadable format, and in conjunction with Microsoft's Advanced Streaming Format (ASF), WMA can also be streamed to listeners. Optional copyright protection is included in the WMA code, allowing the owner to restrict the use of protected material.
