About the formats

WAV Waveform audio

Uncompressed sound, exactly as recorded: about 10 MB per minute at CD quality. Recorders, audio editors and DJ software like it; for sharing or storing it is very large.

MP3 MPEG Audio Layer III

The most compatible audio format: every phone, car stereo, speaker and app plays it. MP3 makes small files by discarding sound you're unlikely to hear, so it suits listening, not editing.
