Description | WMA is a very common and widely spread audio file extension, being only second to MP3.

WMA Pro is viewed as a professional version of WMA Standard, since it uses an advanced multichannel encoding pattern. Today, WMA Pro is on the way toward getting the status of a standard format for next generation DVD. WMA Lossless was designed for storing and archiving audiodata.

File extension | .MP3 |
Category | Audio File |
Description | MP3 is the most popular audio file type based on MPEG-1 Layer III compression. Its lossy algorithm was developed in 1991. MP3 codes the sound almost with the same quality, as CD (16-bit stereo), providing compression in size 1 to 10 from the original WAF or AIFF tracks. The quality of MP3 seriously depends on the bitrate. It can be 128 - 256 kbps. Higher bitrates are also supported, but they seriously increase the file size. It is supported by all modern hard- and software players. |
