Windows Media Audio (WMA) digital audio file format introduced by Microsoft is commonly used to refer to its audio file format or its audio codecs. WMA is composed of four different codecs. Codec is a computer program used to compress/decompress the digital audio data in respect to a given audio file format or streaming audio format. The four WMA codecs include an original WMA codec known as WMA; WMA Pro, a new and more advanced codec used for multichannel and high resolution audio; WMA Voice, using range of low bit rates and targets the voice contents; and WMA Lossless, an audio data compressor.

Moving Picture Experts Group-1 Layer 3 or commonly known as MP3 is a patent digital audio encoding format based on a form of lossy data compression (lossy means to loss some data). In this kind of compression the data is compressed in first place and then decompressed to retrieve data nearly similar to original. This sort of data compression is used for multimedia data like audio, video, still images.
