WAV is an audio file format developed by Microsoft. This file format has become a standard PC audio file format for everything from system and game sounds to CD-quality audio.
The standard formatted WAV file is the same as the CD format and is also a 44.1K sampling frequency and a 16-bit quantized number. So the sound quality of the WAV audio is almost the same as the CD!
Windows system and its applications support this format very well, but Apple does not.
Apple devises users opt to convert their WAV files to M4A. A file with the M4A file extension is a MPEG-4 Audio file and they’re most often found in Apple’s iTunes Store as the format of song downloads.
WAV files will normally have a big size. Converting it to a different format such as the M4A format is better – it’ll also allow compatibility with Apple devices.
