오디오 포맷 완전 가이드: MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, AAC의 특징과 적합한 사용 시점

Why it matters

Audio formats involve tradeoffs between file size, quality, compatibility, and licensing. Lossy formats (MP3, AAC, OGG Vorbis, Opus) permanently remove data for smaller files, while lossless formats (WAV, FLAC, ALAC) preserve full quality. The article compares each format's characteristics and recommends use cases—WAV for production, MP3 for universal compatibility, AAC for streaming, and OGG Vorbis as an open-source alternative.
