Description🔵 WMA, a format of audio stream coding introduced by Microsoft in 1999, has been the foundation for Windows Media. Its main purpose is to store and distribute audio content. Initially considered a viable alternative to MP3, it lost some significance with the emergence of AAC. Unlike MP3, WMA can be installed alongside other system codecs of Windows 9x.WMA is known for its good compression quality, making it suitable for many audio players, mobile devices, and Playstations. However, due to its proprietary nature, files in this format may not play back with satisfactory quality on other platforms. The latest version allows for multi-channel coding of large audio files and voice data. Additionally, advancements in technology have reduced the coding delay significantly.
Technical details🔵 The term WMA is used to refer to both the file format and the codec. There are several types of the format:
- WMA, which is similar to MP3;
- WMA Pro, offering high-quality sound with a wide range of channels;
- WMA Lossless, providing lossless compression;
- WMA Voice, designed for compressing voice content into low bitrate files.
According to Microsoft programmers, an audio file with a bitrate of 64 Kbit/s has comparable sound clarity to tracks from a CD. However, not all advanced users agree with this assessment. WMA files are often generated in Advanced Systems Format, which can contain both audio and video content. One limitation is the inability to support bitrates higher than 160 Kbit/s.

Description🔵 .mp (MPEG Layer Audio) The .mp format is an audio coding format for digital audio which uses a form of lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio streaming or storage, as well as a standard de facto codec for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players. MP files compress audio data by eliminating sounds that are outside the hearing range of most people, thus reducing the file size without significantly affecting the perceived sound quality.
Technical details🔵 The `.mp3` format, MPEG-1 Audio Layer III, is a widely-used digital audio format. Here are the key technical details:
- Lossy Compression: Reduces file size by eliminating less audible sounds.
- Compression Ratio: Generally around 10:1, striking a balance between quality and size.
- Bitrate: Encoded at various rates, impacting quality and size.
- Sampling Rates: Supports a range of rates, including CD quality.
- Channel Modes: Provides options for mono, stereo, joint stereo, and dual channel.
- Metadata: Stores information like title, artist, and genre (ID3 tags).
- Streaming: Well-suited for internet audio streaming.
- Universal Playback: Works with most devices and software.
- Variable Bitrate (VBR): Adjusts bitrate dynamically for efficiency.
- Frequency Range: Covers 20 Hz to 20 kHz (the range of human hearing).
- File Size: Significantly smaller than uncompressed audio.
- Psychoacoustic Model: Eliminates less audible frequencies.
- Developed by Fraunhofer Society in the 1990s. MP3 transformed the music industry with its effective compression and broad compatibility, facilitating digital audio storage and sharing.
