0:57 Common Audio Format List
1. WAV File format
WAV file format used to be one of the most popular uncompressed audio file types in the 90s and early 2000. Ideally, it was used to store audio recordings on CD drives. Today, WAV has become pretty obsolete as hardly anyone uses it to store audio files. Although, many recording studios still prefer recording audio using the conventional WAV format.
2. AIFF File Format
AIFF is another uncompressed audio file format that was designed by Apple to store audio recordings in CDs. But, like other Apple products, even the AIFF file format was only exclusive to Apple’s ecosystem. It’s most commonly used with Apple products and the tech giant has even released a new modern-day version of AIFF known as AIFF-C. The only difference is that AIFF-C is a compressed audio file format.
3. PCM Audio File
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation. It’s a technique that automatically converts analog audio files into dedicated digital formats. The PCM format has become the go-to file format for people to store audio in CDs and DVDs. Even today, PCM is a globally renowned file format to store audio recordings in an uncompressed manner.
4. FLAC Audio File
FLAC is a type of lossless compressed audio file format that can compress audio files up to 60% without losing the quality whatsoever. FLAC audio files are heavily used to store audio files in compressed format. In fact, some people even call it the best alternative to mp3 files as FLAC can retain the metadata of an audio file.
5. ALAC Audio File
ALAC stands for Apple Lossless Audio Codec. As the name implies, this lossless compressed audio format is designed and released by Apple. In 2011, Apple decided to make ALAC royalty-free to improve its popularity. Again, being an Apple product, ALAC is mainly used on different iDevices such as Macs, iPhones, and iPads.
6. WMAAudio File
WMA is another lossless compressed audio file format that’s designed and managed by Microsoft. It’s the native audio format on Windows systems that can compress files without causing any data loss. Though the compression quality isn’t as superior as advanced compressed file formats like FLAC and ALAC.
7. MP3 Audio File
Now, coming to the most popular audio file format out there - of course, we’re talking about MP3. The cross-platform compatibility of MP3 files is the reason behind their immense popularity. Even though mp3 is a type of lossy compressed audio file format, it doesn’t cause a file to lose any crucial data.
8. AACAudio File
AAC stands for Advanced Audio Encoding. Not particularly a file format, AAC is an encoding technique that’s commonly used as a container for other file formats like 3gp and m4a. AAC is the default encoding technique used across different platforms including iTunes, iOS devices, Sony Walkmans, Playstations, and YouTube.
9. AGGAudio File
AGG is a bulk data file format that’s primarily used in the gaming world. It’s a type of compressed file format whose job is to store different assets like audio, images, and other assets required to play a particular game. AGG files can be accessed across different platforms including Windows, Mac, and even mobile devices.
10. WMA Lossy File
WMA can also act as a lossy compressed audio format. This version of WMA can compress an audio file and drastically reduce its size by eliminating unnecessary sounds in the background. But, since it’s not open-source, WMA didn’t gain as much popularity as mp3.
