An '''audio coding format'''<ref>The term "audio coding" can be seen in e.g. the name [[Advanced Audio Coding]], and is analogous to the term [[video coding format|video coding]]</ref> (or sometimes '''audio compression format''') is a [[Content format|content representation format]] for storage or transmission of [[digital audio]] (such as in [[digital television]], [[digital radio]] and in audio and video files). Examples of audio coding formats include [[MP3]], [[Advanced Audio Coding|AAC]], [[Vorbis]], [[FLAC]], and [[Opus (audio format)|Opus]]. A specific software or hardware implementation capable of [[Data_compression#Audio|audio compression]] and decompression to/from a specific audio coding format is called an [[audio codec]]; an example of an audio codec is [[LAME]], which is one of several different codecs which implements encoding and decoding audio in the [[MP3]] audio coding format in software.
