WAV stands for Waveform Audio File Format, an audio format developed by Microsoft and IBM.
If WAM and MP3 files are audio files that have gone through data compression and loss, WAM is an original, uncompressed audio file.
And so, the WAV file has good sound quality (equivalent to CD music) but is quite heavy due to its large capacity.
