WAV versus MP3

(only $19.90)

WAV (Wave audio format) is widely used for storing audio data on PCs. WAV files are relatively large in size, compared to other ‘lossy’ formats, such as MP3, WMA, AAC, ATRAC, etc. Uncompressed WAV files possess a relatively high quality level, and some radio broadcasters take advantage of them.

Because WAV files are large in size, they are a little too tough for online transfer. MP3 uses a lossy compression algorithm, and hence it is stripped of many data elements that are present in WAV files. MP3 files are received through so called perceptual coding, which results in deletion of a group of data elements that are not perceived by the human ear. Therefore, MP3 files can decently reproduce all basic sound elements that are generally perceived by listeners.
