Audio Files extension

An audio file format is a file format for storing audio data on a computer system. Most of the publicly documented audio file formats can be created with one of two or more encoders or codecs which performs the encoding and decoding of the raw audio data while the data itself is stored in a file with a specific audio file format. There are three major groups of audio file formats: uncompressed audio file formats, lossless compression audio formats and lossy compression audio file formats.
