Media formats refer to the various ways in which information is stored, transmitted, and consumed. Common formats include text, audio, video, and images. Each format has its own specific characteristics and uses, such as MP3 for audio files or JPEG for images, allowing users to choose the most suitable option for their needs. Different media formats can be categorized into digital and analog types. Digital formats, like PDF for documents or MP4 for videos, are designed for use on computers and mobile devices. In contrast, analog formats, such as vinyl records or film, rely on physical media and are often associated with traditional methods of media consumption.
