Format description
AIFF (short for Audio Interchange File Format) is a lossless audio file format developed by Apple in 1988 for high-quality sound storage. Originally designed for Apple Macintosh computers, the AIFF format is now supported across many platforms and commonly used in audio production. Although AIFF files are usually large due to storing uncompressed audio data, they maintain better audio fidelity than other lossy formats such as MP3 or AAC.Common questions about converting AC3 to AIFF
