Okay there's a little more to say about it.
|
|
WMA was originally developed in 1999 by none other than Microsoft in
|
|
order to replace MP3 and WAV. Software support is extremely poor, so poor in fact
|
|
that I could not even make audio samples for this presentation, let alone play them.
|
|
|
|
This may surprise you, but WMA is both patented and has royalties for its use.
|
|
|
|
WMA does come in both lossy and lossless versions, but they both are kinda garbage.
|
|
|
|
It does however support up to 24-bit sampling depth, 96kHz sampling rate and up to 8 channels,
|
|
as long as you're using the lossy version.
|
|
|
|
Designed to replace MP3 and WAV
|
|
WMA Lossless only supports 6 channels
|
|
Microsoft lied about the audio quality
|
|
FFmpeg only supportes WMAv1 lossy and WMAv2 lossy
