Definition:
Windows Media Audio is a digital music format that was developed by Microsoft. It is an audio compression format that has 4 codecs: WMA, WMA Pro, WMA Lossless, and WMA Voice. Usually, WMA files come in ASF (Advanced Systems Format) containers which have the ability to be encrypted with DRM – the WMA system on its own doesn’t support DRM. Once in this container, metadata (equivalent to the MP3 ID3 tag) can also be included: song name, artist, track number etc.
The file extension associated with WMA is:
- .WMA
