Topic

Read this:

There are commonly found sound file formats and they have different uses. For example, MP3 files are often used for the digital distribution and playing of music.

• MP3 is a compressed file format meaning it has smaller file sizes than uncompressed sound files such as WAV files.

• This is one reason that MP3s became the popular format for distributing sound across the internet, as the smaller file sizes meant quicker download speeds and less storage space required.

• There is some sound quality loss between compressed MP3 files and uncompressed WAV or AIFF files. When creating digital recordings, these uncompressed file formats are usually used.

• Midi files (.mid) do not actually contain sounds. Instead they send a message to the computer’s sound playback device (soundcard) or attached digital instrument, instructing it to play certain notes. Midi files are therefore not used to listen back to recording of our favourite music, but are used in creating and playing computer music.

Computing – just read through PowerPoint called File extension quiz.
