WAV in het kort
WAV
WAV grew out of the RIFF multimedia framework created by Microsoft and IBM, which is why it still feels close to desktop and production-tool audio interchange rather than a streaming-first delivery format.
M4A in het kort
M4A
M4A became familiar through Apple and portable-device music workflows, where extension conventions shaped user expectations about what kind of media file they were dealing with.
