The '''WAVE''' file format is a commonly-used sound format that is high quality but has a large file size. Because of its compatibility with many game-making programs, it is used for sound effects in [[fangames]].  In the context of games, WAVE is not recommended for music longer than 5-10 seconds due to its file size.
