What is a AU file?
This type of file represents a simple audio file that was primarily common on NeXT systems and early Web pages. The AU file format was, at first, used by Sun or some similar Unix-based machine, but now, it can be opened with other audio programs as well. To reproduce this file format, you can use Nullsoft Winamp, Apple QuickTime Player, Microsoft Windows Media Player, RealNetworks, RealPlayer Cloud, or Adobe Audition CC. Although AU files are quite small and have poor sound quality, they store information in three sections. The first one is called header, with a maximum of 24 bytes. Next, there’s a variable-length annotation block. And last but not least, there’s the audio data itself.
What is a MP3 file?
When someone is talking about music, this file format is the first one that pops on everyone’s mind. MP3, known as MPEG-1 Audio Layer III or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, is a coding format for digital audio and one of the methods for compressing audio files. MP3 compression system reduces the number of bytes in a song, while the sound quality stays near the one that’s on CDs. Consider that an average song is around four minutes long, and it uses about 40 MB. But it uses only 4 MB if compressed through the MP3 format. Quite a difference, don’t you think? Besides, a lot of music players support this type of file format, which makes it the most popular audio extension.
