- This is an audio file very similar to .WAV file but is developed using the Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF). It is mainly used to store standard CD audio.
- An MP3 file is an audio file saved in a compressed audio format developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) that uses "Layer 3" audio compression. It is commonly used to store music and audiobooks with near-CD quality sound (stereo, 16-bit) and roughly 1/10 the size of a .WAV or .AIF file.
