"Harry if you want your sound system to be more effective use the WAV format."
I am no sound engineer but this statement makes me think very deeply on why this format issues are very important to my birdhouses.
Most of us have no clue about those bird call sounds that we have been collecting. We buy or exchange them in CD and upon reaching our BH we will slot the media into our player. The sound is out and that's it.
Do you know that if you have the same sound but in different format the birds will be more attracted.
Good example is to use the wav extended format as against MP3 format?

All sounds that are recorded and played onto any media (radio, CDs, ipod, usb, memory cards and etc) are actually being saved in a kind of format.
Some format are uncompressed but many are compressed.
When you compressed, using some kind of soft wares, there is a very strong indications that the quality of these sound will be effected. This is very much so if you use the lossy type of format example mp3 and wma.
Once this is played on player and amplified using an amplifier and transmitted to your BH tweeters, their sound is no longer original. As such your wild birds will not like it that much as compared to original sound format or uncompressed mode.
The uncompressed format recommended by many is the wav format.
WAV (or WAVE), short for Waveform audio format, is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing an audio bitstream on PCs.

This article is for you to think carefully before playing any sound that you have been collecting all this time.
Choose the right format and bring more birds into your BH from now on.
