In the world of digital audio, there is no shortage of unique file formats in which you can create and share music. In general, the different forms of coded digital audio are based on different compression techniques. On a simple level, a compression method reduces audio fidelity to ensure that the file size of a particular piece of music remains small and manageable. In terms of compression, WAV and MP3 files are at the other end of the spectrum. Although WAV files are generally quite large, MP3 is one of the easiest music formats to share because of its compact size. In this sense, learning how to convert WAV files to MP3 format with common software such as Windows Media Player allows you to share your favorite music at any time.

What is a WAV file?

A waveform audio file format (WAV, pronounced “Wave”) is a raw audio format developed by Microsoft and IBM. WAV files are uncompressed, lossless audio files that can take up a lot of space at about 10 MB per minute.

WAV file formats use containers to contain audio in pieces using the resource exchange file format. This is a common method that Windows uses to store audio and video files – such as AVI – but can also be used for all data.

They are mainly used in the professional music recording industry, but more and more people are moving away from WAV and using FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) because it uses compression to reduce file size while maintaining quality.

What is an MP3?

In short, an MP3 is a coded version of your title whose quality has been strategically compromised in order to minimize the amount of data required for online distribution. The encoder reduces the bits that are significantly less important and gives us a smaller file.
