What is a better file of the two for an mp3 player that can play mp3’s and wav files? Which is better space wise?

wav files are less compressed and therefore have better audio quality, but take up more space. If space is your concern, mp3 files are more compressed and therefore smaller, so you can fit more of them on your player.

   .mp3 is compressed audio

   .wav files are larger!

   go for .mp3 (128 kbps)
