M
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

S
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the original.
W
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
This is the audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation.
