Format description
WAV files are used for storing uncompressed audio. The WAVE format contains the waveform data for the audio track. A major difference between WAV and MP3 is that WAV files do not have compression applied, meaning that the quality is uncompromised. MP3 files use compression. As a result, WAV files are larger in size than MP3 files.To free up space on your device, you can convert WAV files to MP3s. The slight loss in quality should not be noticeable in most cases.
