Audio file format
An audio file format is a file format for storing digital audio data on a computer system. The bit layout of the audio data (excluding meta data) is called the audio coding format and can be uncompressed, or compressed to reduce the file size, often using lossy compression. The data can be a raw bit stream in an audio coding format, but it is usually embedded in a container format or an audio data format with defined storage layer.
Types Of Audio
- MIDI
MIDI short for (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a technical standard that describes a communications protocol, digital interface, and electrical connectors that connect a wide variety of electronic musical instruments, computers, and related music and audio devices. A single MIDI link can carry up to sixteen channels of information, each of which can be routed to a separate device.

Waveform Audio File Format (WAVE, or more commonly known as WAV due to its file name extension - both pronounced "wave" (rarely, Audio for Windows) is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing an audio bit stream on PCs. It is an application of the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) bit stream format method for storing data in "chunks", and thus is also close to the 8SVX and the AIFF format used on Amiga and Macintosh computers, respectively. It is the main format used on Microsoft Windows systems for raw and typically uncompressed audio. The usual bit stream encoding is the linear pulse-code
