Windows Media Audio (WMA) is an audio data compression technology developed by Microsoft. The name can be used to refer to its audio file format or its audio codecs. It is a proprietary technology which forms part of the Windows Media framework. WMA consists of four distinct codecs. The original WMA codec, known simply as WMA, was conceived as a competitor to the popular MP3 and RealAudio codecs. Today it is one of the most popular codecs, together with MP3 and MPEG-4 AAC. In 2003 it came second after MP3 in terms of standalone players supporting it. WMA Pro, a newer and more advanced codec, supports multichannel and high resolution audio. A lossless codec, WMA Lossless, compresses audio data without loss of audio fidelity. And WMA Voice, targeted at voice content, applies compression using a range of low bit rates.

Il Windows Media Audio (WMA) è uno standard per file audio inventato dalla Microsoft. I file con estensione WMA sono file di tipo Advanced Systems Format (.asf) il cui audio è compresso con il codec WMA. L'unica differenza tra i due formati, al di là delle estensioni, è il tipo MIME, che per gli .asf è video/x-ms-asf e per i .wma è audio/x-ms-wma. A parte questo, la struttura di base dei due file è identica.
