is a container format for storing audio data on a computer system.
The general approach towards storing digital audio is to sample the audio voltage (which on playback, would correspond to a certain position of the membrane in a speaker) of the individual chanels with a certain resolution (the number of bits per sample) in regular intervals (forming the sample rate). This data can then be stored uncompressed or compressed to reduce the file size.
