Format Details
AAC
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a lossy audio compression format standardized by ISO/IEC and designed as a higher-quality successor to MP3. It achieves better audio fidelity than MP3 at the same bit rate by using more advanced psychoacoustic models and encoding techniques. AAC is the default audio format for iTunes, Apple Music, YouTube, and all iOS devices, and is supported natively across virtually every modern platform.
WAV
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio container format developed by Microsoft and IBM for storing raw audio data. It preserves audio at full, lossless quality with no encoding artifacts, making it the preferred format for audio production, editing, and professional archival. WAV files are larger than compressed formats like MP3, but are universally supported and suffer no quality degradation when re-encoded.
