Wave, AIFF SND and many other formats are not compressed. Most of these are variations of a PCM (pulse code modulation) format.
Audio Interchange File Format was created on 1988-01-21.
The file extension mp3 means that the file is an audio file, and is usually some sort of music file. However, mp3 can also be used for sound recordings that are done for businesses, and many other things as well.
File Compression
a PHAT file
File compression uses software algorithms to reduce file size by reducing the bit-rate of a file. Lossy compression takes it a bit further and lowers the quality of thr file to make it even smaller. Lossy compression is commonly used for media files, but would not be appropriate for other types of files.
mp3 file format
Mp3 is a file format commonly used for audio files. This is not the only format but is a very common one. An MP3 file, an audio file, is already a song. There is no possible way of converting an MP3 song to an audio song because 'audio' is not a format to convert to.

Hi, Bit rate is what determines the file size of any audio files(uncompressed or compressed).wma is a compressed audio format (lossy compression) so if you go for a 128kbps file of 5min the file size will be around 4.62MB Rgds, Brijith
Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF)
WMA or Windows Media Audio is the audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA name is given to audio codecs and audio files which use WMA technologies for compression. WMA songs can be stored on CDs and DVDs for playback on PCs and CD/DVD players which support this format. Many of the portable audio players support WMA format playback in addition to MP3 and Real Audio file formats.
This is a process which reduces the data rate or file size of digital audio signals. For processes which reduce the dynamic range (without changing the amount of digital data) of audio signals,
