Part 1: About WMA and WAV

WMA – Window Media Audio

Compared MP3, WMA is better. But this format is not popular because it cannot be played in some devices.

WAV – Waveform Audio File Format

WAV is the favorite format for most of artists and sound engineers. As the WAV file is lossless and uncompressed, it is one of the best audio formats and the first choice for many technicians in recording studios. The audio file in the WAV format concludes more sound details and listeners can attain better music.

Part 2: Why Should We Use WAV Not WMA

1. Frequency response

It is about 22KHz in the full frequency response of a uncompressed WAV file. As for that of a WMA file, it is around 18KHz, far below WAV. The reduction of the frequency will suppress many sound details and degrade the quality.

2. Gapless looping

It is impossible to use WMA to create gapless looping. But you can do so with the WMA files, without any stop or sound gap.

3. Encoding

A WMA file merely includes the compressed audios while a WAV file contains the data encoded with LPCM and ADPCM. That is also why the WAV file has high audio quality.

4. Storage

WMA makes up for the disadvantages of MP3 but it accounts for less storage space. Although WAV can contain all audio information, the file size is very large. Today, many people buy the large-storage devices, so there is no problem in saving WAV files.
