Smallest audio file: MP3, Ogg, or Wav?

Question

I\'m looking for the smallest type of audio file for some javascript to work smoother.

Answer 1

WAV files are very large, and ogg is regrettably not supported universally, so MP3 is probably your best bet. if you want to make sure the file downloads as quickly as possible, you should take a look at the compression options you're using. If you don't have access to compression options, try downloading an audio editing program like Audacity. Open up the file and then re-export it as an MP3. Try saving the sound file with a relatively low bitrate (128k, 64k, or even less) and see if the playback quality is still acceptable.
