WMA vs WAV at a glance
WMA is Microsoft's proprietary audio format for Windows Media Player — rarely supported outside Windows, and most phones, apps and streaming platforms can't play it at all. WAV is the lossless audio standard — uncompressed PCM audio, identical quality every time, but files are 10× larger than MP3.
