About APE and WAV
APE: APE (Monkey's Audio) is a lossless format with very high compression, often used for CD rips shared online.
WAV: WAV stores uncompressed PCM audio, so it keeps every bit of the original sound. Files are large, but WAV is the standard for audio editing, studios and professional software.
