It&#8217;s a compressed audio format, but it sounds better than MP3 and is used to download music from iTunes and stream via Apple Music.<\/p>\n<p>-AIFF (high resolution): Apple&#8217;s alternative to WAV, but with better metadata support. It&#8217;s an uncompressed and lossless format, but it&#8217;s not very popular.<\/p>\n<p>-DSD (High Resolution) &#8211; The uncompressed single bit format for super audio CDs. It is available in the 2.8 MHz, 5.6 MHz and 11.2 MHz variants, but due to its high-quality codec it is (currently) not suitable for streaming.<\/p>\n<p>-FLAC (High Resolution) &#8211; This lossless compression format supports high-resolution sampling rates, takes up about half the WAV space, and stores metadata. It is license-free and is the preferred format for downloading and storing albums in high resolution or CD quality. The disadvantage is that it is not compatible with Apple (therefore it is not compatible with iTunes).<\/p>\n<p>-MP3 (not high definition): Lossy, compressed format that guarantees small file sizes, but is far from the best possible audio quality. However, it is still very convenient for storing music on smartphones and other mobile devices and is widely used.<\/p>\n<p>-MQA (High Resolution) &#8211; A lossless compression format with high resolution files for more efficient transmission. It is used for high-resolution streaming from Tidal Masters and other similar services.<\/p>\n<p>-OGG (not high resolution): Sometimes you can find him by his full name, Ogg Vorbis. An open source and compressed alternative to MP3 and AAC that is not limited by patents. This format is used (at 320 kbit \/ s) to stream Spotify.<\/p>\n<p>-WAV (High Resolution) &#8211; The standard format in which all audio CDs are encoded. Excellent sound quality and no compression, which means large files (especially for high-resolution files). However, metadata (album art, artist information, and song title) are hardly supported.<\/p>\n<p>-WMA Lossless &#8211; An uncompressed embodiment of Windows Media Audio, but is no longer supported by smartphones or tablets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything you need to know about audio files &#8230; compressed and uncompressed Regardless of whether you&#8217;re listening to MP3 files or high-definition audio, it&#8217;s time to find out exactly which file format is best for your needs.
