| Frequently Asked Questions |
| What is a .wav file? --
WAVE or WAV, short for Waveform Audio File
Format, (also, but rarely, named, Audio for Windows)
is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing an
audio bitstream on PCs. It is an application of the RIFF
bitstream format method for storing data in “chunks”, and thus
is also close to the 8SVX and the AIFF format used on Amiga and
Macintosh computers, respectively. It is the main format used on
Windows systems for raw and typically uncompressed audio. The
usual bitstream encoding is the Linear Pulse Code Modulation (LPCM)
format. More here!
What is a .mp3 file? --
MP3 is an audio-specific format that was designed by the
Moving Picture Experts Group as part of its MPEG-1
standard and later extended in MPEG-2 standard. The
first MPEG subgroup - Audio group was formed by
several teams of engineers at Fraunhofer IIS, University
of Hannover, AT&T-Bell Labs, Thomson-Brandt, CCETT, and
others. MPEG-1
Audio (MPEG-1 Part 3), which included MPEG-1 Audio Layer
I, II and III was approved as a committee draft of ISO/IEC
standard in 1991, finalised in 1992
and published in 1993 (ISO/IEC 11172-3:1993).
Backwards compatible MPEG-2 Audio (MPEG-2 Part 3) with
additional bit rates and sample rates was published in
1995 (ISO/IEC 13818-3:1995).
