About the WAV format
WAV — Waveform Audio File Format
WAV is Microsoft's uncompressed audio format and the professional standard for high-quality audio. It stores audio data without any compression, preserving every sample exactly as recorded, making it ideal for studio production and archiving.
Common uses
- Professional music production
- Audio mastering and mixing
- Game audio and sound design
- Archival audio storage
About the BZ2 format
BZ2 — Bzip2 Compressed File
BZ2 is a single-file compression format using the bzip2 algorithm (Burrows-Wheeler transform + Huffman coding). It consistently achieves 10-15% better compression ratios than gzip for text and source code, making it preferred for bandwidth-sensitive distributions. Like gzip, it compresses only a single file — directories must be bundled with TAR first.
Common uses
- Compressing large text files and source code archives
- Linux package distribution (.deb source packages)
- Scientific data compression
- Bandwidth-sensitive file distribution
