Audio Media
Media communication that uses audio or recordings to deliver and transfer information through the
means of sound. May refer to audio formats may refer to analog tape cassettes and digital cd's,
computer files containing audio, in any number of digital formats.
Types of Audio Information
1. Radio Broadcast - live or recorded audio sent through radio waves to reach a wide audience
2. Music - vocal or instrumental sounds combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony,
and expression of emotion
3. Sound Recording - recording of an interview, meeting, or any sound from the environment
4. Sound Clips / Effects - any sound artificially reproduced to create an effect in a dramatic presentation
(ex. sound of a storm, or a door)
5. Audio Podcast - a digital audio or video file or recording, usually part of a themed series, that can be
downloaded from a website to a media player or a computer.

Ways to Store Audio

1. Tape - magnetic tape on which sound can be recorded
2. CD (Compact Disc) - a plastic-fabricated, circular medium for recording, storing, and playing
back audio, video, and computer data
3. USB Drive - an external flash drive, small enough to carry on a key ring, that can be used
with any computer that has a USB Port
4. Memory Card (aka Flash Memory Card or Storage Card) - is a small storage medium used to
store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable, or remote
computing devices.
 Audio File Formats
1. M4A is an mpeg-4 audio file or audio-compressed file used because of increased quality demand as a
result of cloud storage and bigger hard drive space in contemporary computers. It is preferred due to its
high quality.
2. FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio file compressed into a smaller size of the original file. It
is not frequently used compared to other sound file formats because it often needs special downloads
to function.
3. MP3 is an MPEG audio layer 3 file format preferred because its compression saves valuable space
while maintaining near-flawless quality of the original source of sound. MP3’s high quality and small
size is very popular for all mobile audio-playing devices. It is compatible with nearly every device
capable of reading
audio files.
4. MP4 is an audio file type is a comprehensive media extension, capable of holding audio, video and
other media. The MP4 contains data in the file, rather than code.
5. WAV is a Waveform Audio File that stores waveform data. The waveform data
stored demonstrates strength of volume and sound in specific parts of the WAV
file. It is entirely possible to transform a WAV file using compression, though it is not standard. WAV is
typically used on Windows systems.
6. WMA (Windows Media Audio) is Windows-based alternative to the more common and popular MP3
file type. Its advantage is its lossless compression, retaining high audio quality throughout all types of
restructuring processes.
7. AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is an audio file that delivers decently highquality sound and is
enhanced using advanced coding. It has never been one of the most popular audio formats, especially
when it comes to music files, but the AAC does still serve some purpose for major systems. This includes
popular
mobile devices and video gaming units, where the AAC is a standard audio component.
