- WAV, short for Waveform audio format, is a Microsoft and IBM open format that is typically used to store uncompressed digital audio. WAV is the most common format used for editing digital audio. Because it is an uncompressed format (and therefore the files are relatively large), WAV is not commonly used by MP3 players, although it is supported by some.
- WAV can be played on your Mac using music player software such as Music Man. WAV can also be played on some MP3 Players, including iPod
