Detailed explanation-1: -A raw audio file is any file containing un-containerized and uncompressed audio. The data is stored as raw pulse-code modulation (PCM) values without any metadata header information (such as sampling rate, bit depth, endian, or number of channels).
Detailed explanation-2: -MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) is the most popular of the lossy formats. MP3 files work on most devices and the files can be as small as one-tenth the size of lossless files. MP3 is fine for the consumer, since most of the sound it drops is inaudible, but that’s not the case when it comes to bit depth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Though MP3 compression is considered lossy because some data cannot be recovered after compression, the MPEG algorithm can achieve transparent, or perceptually lossless, compression.
