What is a WAV file?
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is a standard for storing raw and uncompressed audio developed by Microsoft and IBM. It uses PCM encoding and is known for its excellent sound quality and wide compatibility.
WAV files are widely used in professional audio environments, including recording, editing, and mastering, but they take up more space than compressed formats like MP3 or AAC.
How to open WAV files
WAV files are supported by nearly all media players including Windows Media Player, iTunes, VLC, and professional audio software like Adobe Audition and Logic Pro.
To reduce file size, you can convert WAV to MP3 or AAC easily using AnyConv.

What is a M4R file?
M4R is another extension of the M4A format, used specifically for iPhone ringtones. It contains AAC-encoded audio and is designed to be easily imported into iOS devices via iTunes. In most cases, M4R files are short clips extracted from longer M4A or MP3 songs.
Despite being almost identical to M4A in structure, the M4R extension helps iTunes and iPhones recognize the file as a ringtone rather than music or podcast content.
How to open M4R files
M4R files are used for iPhone ringtones and can be played or transferred using iTunes. On most systems, VLC and QuickTime can also open them directly.
To create a ringtone or convert M4R to another format, AnyConv is a convenient online tool.
