It has poor metadata support (that is, album artwork, artist and song title information). Great sound quality but it's uncompressed, meaning huge file sizes (especially for hi-res files). WAV (hi-res): The standard format in which all CDs are encoded. The file format used (at 320kbps) in Spotify streaming.

A lossy, open-source alternative to MP3 and AAC, unrestricted by patents. OGG (not hi-res): Sometimes called by its full name, Ogg Vorbis. MQA (hi-res): A lossless compression format that packages hi-res files for more efficient streaming. Convenient for storing music on smartphones and iPods. MP3 (not hi-res): Popular, lossy compressed format ensures small file size, but far from the best sound quality. The downside is, it’s not supported by Apple (so not compatible with Apple Music). It's royalty-free and is considered the preferred format for downloading and storing hi-res albums.

FLAC (hi-res): This lossless compression format supports hi-res sample rates, takes up about half the space of WAV, and stores metadata.
