About WAV
WAV stores audio as raw, uncompressed samples. Nothing is lost, which makes it the standard working format in audio editing, and files run to about 10 MB per minute at CD quality.
WAV files are about ten times larger than an MP3 of the same recording. WAV is uncompressed, so audio editors and transcription tools accept it without fuss.
