  AIFF - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AIFF is also used by Silicon Graphics Incorporated.
The audio data in an AIFF file are uncompressed big-endian pulse-code modulation (PCM) so the files tend to be much larger than files that use lossless compression (such as FLAC) or lossy compression formats such as Vorbis and MP3.
Uncompressed AIFF files at compact-disc settings (44.1K samples/sec, 16 bits, 2 channels) thus have a bitrate of 1411.2 kbit/s.

 AIFF tags? - Hydrogenaudio Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)

Using the ASCII AIFF tags as specificed, possibly overriding with ID3 data if the 'ID3 '; chunk is present (similar to ID3v1+v2 solution) could be an option.
