- File Formats
Focus Mp3 Recorder Pro supports 4 formats: MP3, OGG, WMA and WAV.
MP3: A format that creates small sized files at a compressing rate of 1:10 to 1:12 while maintaining satisfactory audio quality.
OGG: A file format similar with MP3. Compressing rate of OGG is a little bit higher than that of MP3. So that an OGG file saves up to 38% in disk space than a MP3 file.
WMA: A format with a high compressing rate 1:18. So a WMA file is only about 50~70% the size of a MP3 file, which effectively reduces disk space for saving. It is of great importance when you need to save a lot of digital audio files on average quality.
WAV: We know that audio CD Produces perfect audio quality. When you plan to have a high quality recording, WAV format will be your choice. Quality of WAV audios is the most closely to CD quality.
