O que é um arquivo .wma?

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio compression format developed by Microsoft as a competitor to MP3. WMA typically provides better sound quality than MP3 at the same bitrate, especially at lower bitrates. While once widely used on Windows devices, WMA has been largely superseded by AAC and MP3 in popularity. It is still found in older media libraries and some Windows-centric applications.
