mp3 vs wav

[Jakatta]

Hey there everyone,
i have this mp3 file thats on a stream right, 50 frames.. but when it loops there is a slight pause before it goes back to the start. I remember reading somewhere saying that a wav file will not have a delay in the loop. Is this true?

Can someone help explain this to me?

If not, can someone please tell me how to recify this problem with the mp3 file.

Thanks.

Jak

yes it is true, usually the problem being i that for 1, you can't streama wav file, 2 wav files are usually huge in filesize

So which would be best to use?

A wave file or a mp3?

For (small) loops wav, for 'normal' music mp3.
