What is WAV?
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio format developed by Microsoft and IBM. WAV files contain raw audio data without any compression, which means they preserve every detail of the original recording. However, this comes at the cost of very large file sizes - a 3-minute WAV file can easily be 30-50MB.
What is MP3?
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) is the most popular compressed audio format in the world. It uses advanced psychoacoustic compression to remove audio data that human ears can't easily perceive, reducing file sizes by up to 90% while maintaining excellent quality. MP3 is universally supported by all devices and platforms.
