Waveform Audio File Format (.wav)

A WAV file, jointly developed by Microsoft and IBM, is a common audio file format for storing digital audio content. It can be played using various media players and is frequently used by audio professionals for high-quality recordings. While uncompressed WAV files provide superior audio quality, compressed versions are more practical for online sharing.

MPEG-4 Audio (.m4a)

The M4A file extension, standing for MPEG-4 Audio, is a digital audio format developed by Apple in the early 2000s as part of the MPEG-4 standard. It utilizes Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) or Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) for efficient compression, offering high-quality audio at lower bitrates. M4A files are commonly used for storing music, audiobooks, and podcasts, particularly within Apple's ecosystem, including iTunes and iPod. This format emerged to provide better sound quality and smaller file sizes compared to MP3, aiming to become the new standard in audio compression.
