Hi Gerr,

WMA = Windows Media Audio, is a compressed file type. .WAV = wave, is uncompressed, therefore larger.

Hi Can anyone explain my incomprehension between "wma" and a ".wave" file. I hve a voice recorder and I thought by sending a recording to my p.c. I might be able to edit in the sound wave player in Accessories/entertainment. But it looks like I'll hve to go on line and find a media player that has editing facilities etc. . Which file contains the most recording space W.M.A. OR .WAVE. If I was recording 60 minutes of audio which would be the smaller file type for cdrom Ta. Gerry.
