WMA and WAV explained
What is a WMA file?
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a lossy audio format created by Microsoft. It was common on older Windows systems, so converting it to MP3 or another modern format improves compatibility.
What is a WAV file?
WAV is an uncompressed audio format that stores raw, lossless sound. It delivers studio quality at the cost of large files, which makes it the standard for editing and mastering.
