WAV is a standard file format developed by Microsoft and IBM for audio digital storage. It uses the RIFF file format structure, which is very close to AIFF and IFF formats.
Although WAV is capable of storing compressed audio, it is rarely used as such. WAV files often contain uncompressed audio that occupies a lot of drive space for every second of sound.
The full name of WMA (Windows Media Audio) is used to store compressed audio and files are smaller in size and retain high quality in this format. WMA may be a great substitute for WAV, especially when your audio player is WMP (Windows Media Player). WMA is largely used to store music and other audio files that are quite long because of its excellent quality to size ratio.
WMA and WAV are two common audio formats. The biggest difference between the two file formats is that the WAV is a lossless format, and the WMA is a lossy file format.
