# Audio Formats
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_file_format)
> It is important to distinguish between the audio coding format, the container containing the raw audio data, and an audio codec.
## audio coding format
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_coding_format)
The audio coding format is a format, which tries to store audio in a minimal space, while still allowing a decent quality.
There are two types:
1. lossless compression
2. lossy compression
## container
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_format)
## audio codec
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_codec)
The audio codec is simply software/hardware, to convert audio from an [audio coding format](#audio-coding-format) to playable audio and vice versa.
