Audio files can be created in many formats. One of the oldest and most common formats is WAV - a file extension which stands for Waveform Audio Format.

The MP3 audio file format is perhaps the most recognized of all due to the popularity of MP3 players in today’s society.(the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG))
