Waveform Audio File Format (WAVE, or more commonly known as WAV due to its filename extension—both pronounced "wave") (rarely, Audio for Windows) is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing an audio bitstream on PCs.

It is an application of the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) bitstream 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 bitstream encoding is the linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) format.

In telecommunications, data-transfer rate is the average number of bits (bitrate), characters or symbols (baudrate), or data blocks per unit time passing through a communication link in a data-transmission system.

Common data rate units are multiples of bits per second (bit/s) and bytes per second (B/s).

For example, the data rates of modern residential high-speed Internet connections are commonly expressed in megabits per second (Mbit/s).

Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) is an audio file format standard used for storing sound data for personal computers and other electronic audio devices.

The format was developed by Apple Inc. in 1988 based on Electronic Arts' Interchange File Format (IFF, widely used on Amiga systems) and is most commonly used on Apple Macintosh computer systems.

MP3 (formally MPEG-1 Audio Layer III or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III) is an audio coding format for digital audio.

Originally defined as the third audio format of the MPEG-1 standard, it was retained and further extended—defining additional bit rates and support for more audio channels—as the third audio format of the subsequent MPEG-2 standard.

A third version, known as MPEG 2.5—extended to better support lower bit rates—is commonly implemented, but is not a recognized standard.

Electronic music is music that employs electronic musical instruments, digital instruments and circuitry-based music technology.

In general, a distinction can be made between sound produced using electromechanical means (electroacoustic music), and that produced using electronics only.

Electromechanical instruments include mechanical elements, such as strings, hammers, and so on, and electric elements, such as magnetic pickups, power amplifiers and loudspeakers.

Examples of electromechanical sound producing devices include the telharmonium, Hammond organ, and the electric guitar, which are typically made loud enough for performers and audiences to hear with an instrument amplifier and speaker cabinet.

Pure electronic instruments do not have vibrating strings, hammers, or other sound-producing mechanisms.

Devices such as the theremin, synthesizer, and computer can produce electronic sounds.
