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 | 🔵 AAC is a proprietary format with lossy compression that was created as an alternative to MP3, offering higher quality coding. Frequencies beyond human perception are removed during compression. AAC files are half the size of MP3 files, containing only 1/10 of the digital data found on a CD.This format has been widely used since 1997, as the seventh release in the MPEG-2 family. It is supported by hardware players and highly favored by music fans. AAC has become particularly popular in Apple products and is the default format used in iTunes. |
Technical details | 🔵 The format concept is similar to MP3, but more advanced. It has the ability to achieve greater compression, making it a separate part of the MPEG-4 standard used to create smaller audio files. AAC is highly efficient, supporting variable and continuous bitrate, with a sampling frequency of 8-96 kHz.The current version complies with the ISO/IEC 14496-3 standard. Compression is based on the auditory masking effect, allowing for data reduction without compromising sound quality. |
