*.MP3 ('''MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3''') - standard format for compressing audio into a smaller file. It is a "lossy" format (meaning that it loses some data upon compression) which causes it to not have the sound quality identical to audio file it began as. <ref>[http://ipod.about.com/od/filetypes/fl/How-MP3-and-AAC-Are-Different-and-Other-iPhone-File-Types.htm] Retrieved November 2, 2014. </ref>

*.OGG - Derived from the computer jargon term "ogging", is a multimedia container format developed and maintained by Xiph.Org Foundation. It provides packet framing, error detection, and periodic timestamps for seeking. It is a stream oriented container, as it can be written and read in one pass. <ref>[http://xiph.org/ogg/ OGG] Retrieved November 2, 2014.</ref>
