File types include:
*.AAC (Advanced Audio Converting) - generally offers higher quality sound than an mp3, while using the same or a lesser amount of disk space. <ref>[http://ipod.about.com/od/filetypes/fl/How-MP3-and-AAC-Are-Different-and-Other-iPhone-File-Types.htm How MP3 and AAC Are Different, and Other iPhone File Types].

*.FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) - audio format that is compressed without any loss in quality.
*.AAC ('''Advanced Audio Converting''') - generally offers higher quality sound than an .mp3, while using the same or a lesser amount of disk space. <ref>[http://ipod.about.com/od/filetypes/fl/How-MP3-and-AAC-Are-Different-and-Other-iPhone-File-Types.htm How MP3 and AAC Are Different, and Other iPhone File Types].

*.M4A ('''MPEG-4 Audio''') - file extension for an audio file encoded with Advanced Audio Converting. Like AAC, the quality is higher and uses less memory space than an .mp3. <ref>[http://whatis.techtarget.com/fileformat/M4A-Unprotected-AAC-audio-file M4A File Format]. Retrieved November 2, 2014.</ref>
 
*.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]</ref>
 
*.WMA ('''Windows Media Audio''') - audio file type developed by Microsoft. It is a lossy format, thus resulting in a loss of audio fidelity. <ref name="Windows Media 9 Series Whitepaper"/>
