Description | 🔵 AIFF is intended for viewing and processing of audio data, as well as for its storage in digital devices. Apple designers developed it on the base of IFF in late 1980s. Thanks to lossless coding, it is very similar to WAV. In Windows OS, it is mostly used with .aiff extension. AIFF files have gained significant attention from Mac PC users. They are popular as well among professional musicians who are most particular about sound quality. The fact that the format is widely supported by various multimedia software, and universal players, may also be considered a notable benefit. To open AIFF files in Windows OS, installing Apple iTunes, Windows Media Player, Roxio Creator, and some other programs are required. |
Technical details | 🔵 When being coded, the stream is divided into sound segments. A minute of standard stereo sound corresponds with 10 Mb of memory approximately. Standard non-compressed files use .aif or .aiff. In such files, audio data are represented in the form of pulse code modulation. If some data are lost through codecs, .aifc is used. A standard 16 bit AIFF file has two channels for stereo sound and a 44 100 Hz sampling frequency. Being non-compressed, it differs in size significantly from MP3 and other similar formats. Sometimes it may contain samples and cycle information. |

Description | 🔵 .caf (Core Audio Format) The .caf format is a file type developed by Apple Inc. as a container for audio data. It is designed to overcome limitations of older digital audio formats, including AIFF and WAV. For example, CAF files can store audio of any bit depth and sample rate, and they are not limited in file size like older formats. The Core Audio Format is natively supported on Mac OS X and iOS and is used for storing and manipulating digital audio data. |
Technical details | 🔵 The `.caf` (Core Audio Format) developed by Apple is an audio file format with the following features: - Unlimited File Size: There are no size limitations, making it ideal for lengthy recordings. - Multiple Data Formats: It supports various audio codecs such as PCM, AAC, and MP3. - High-Quality Audio: It is suitable for professional recording and editing, offering high sample rates, bit depths, and channels. - Compression: `.caf` supports both lossless and lossy compression. - Extensive Metadata: It can store text annotations, markers, channel layouts, and more. - Robust File Structure: It is designed to minimize the risk of corruption and enable efficient editing. - Compatibility: `.caf` is native to Apple devices and software, but may require conversion tools for non-Apple systems. - Non-destructive Editing: Some applications allow editing without altering the original files. - Auxiliary Data Support: It can store non-audio data such as MIDI and text. - Sample Accurate Synchronization: `.caf` includes timestamps for precise audio/video synchronization. - Flexible Channel Count: It supports an arbitrary number of audio channels. `.caf` is optimal for professional audio within the Apple ecosystem, but its adoption is limited outside the Apple ecosystem due to its Apple-centric design. |
