Audio also has a fair few different file types
WAV is a high-res audio file type. It's the standard for CDs. It doesn't have much metadata and large file sizes, as it's uncompressed. The Zoom audio recorders used for the assessment save audio as WAVs
FLAC is a lossless compression audio format. It has pretty good metadata and has relatively large file sizes. It's a file type often used by DJs
MP3 is a popular but relatively poor audio file type in that it's compressed and has very small file sizes, and doesn't have the best quality, but for phones, it's pretty good
