About the formats

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.

Format description
MKV files are MatrosKa Video files. Like the Russian Matryoshka doll, which contains multiple smaller dolls nested inside each other, the MKV format can contain multiple video, audio, and subtitle tracks inside a single file. This makes it convenient to have one video with a number of audio and subtitle tracks in different languages, all inside a single playable file.Common questions about converting WAV to MKV
