    About WAV and ALAC

    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.

    ALAC: ALAC is Apple's lossless format. It compresses audio to roughly half the size of WAV with zero quality loss and plays natively in Apple Music, iTunes and on every iPhone. It is saved with the .m4a extension.
