About the formats

Mime type	audio/wav

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.

File extension	.wma

Format description

WMA is short for Windows Media Audio. Similarly to WMV, it is based on Microsoft’s Advanced Systems Format (ASF). WMA files can contain song metadata, such as song title, artist, and album. By default, WMA files can be played on Windows using Groove Music or the older Windows Media Player.

For greater compatibility, you may wish to convert WMA to MP3 or another audio format.
