Sorry I didn't see your question sooner and welcome to OurHypnoSpace.
This is a great question and one I bet some here were afraid to ask. WAV or MP3 ?
Their both standard formats for audio files (music, voice or sound). WAV is also called "raw" format and MP3 is compressed by about 85%. You see more MP3 because it's faster to download of add to your iPod, it takes up less space. The major drawback is loss during the conversions which can lose some of the fidelity of the material. MP3 has different seetings to adjust the compression rate and thus minimize or maximize the space savings.
WAV and MP3 are usually playable on a PC with a player (Windows Media, RealPlayer), MP3's are also playable on iPods and a number of other devices.
The new exciting formats I'm working with are ogg/vorbis and flac. They are both lossless compression and are becoming more mainstream and either will hopefully replace MP3 sometime soon.
