	AIFF - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) is an audio file format standard used for storing sound data on personal computers.
		The format was co-developed by Apple Computer based on Electronic Arts Interchange File Format (IFF) and is most commonly used on Apple Macintosh computer systems.
		The audio data in an AIFF file is 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.

	Audio format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An audio format is a medium for storing sound and music.
		The term is applied to both the physical medium and the format of the content – in computer science it is often limited to the audio file format, but its wider use usually refers to the physical method used to store the data.
		Music is recorded and distributed using a variety of audio formats, some of which store additional information.

		Audio IFF is primarily an interchange format, although application designers should find it flexible enough to use as a data storage format as well.
		Audio IFF is the result of several meetings held with music developers over a period of ten months during 1987 and 1988.
		Since Audio IFF is primarily an interchange format, it will come as no surprise to find that all constants, such as each chunk's ckSize field, are stored in reverse format (the bytes of multiple-byte values are stored with the high-order bytes first).

	Introduction to HTML - Audio File Formats
		The AIFC format is an extension of the AIFF format with file compression.
		The quality of the audio playback is determined not only by the sophistication of the decoder used but also by the sampling rate at with the sound was encoded, and the degree of file compression.
		File size depends on the length of the recorded performance and on the sampling rate used to record and encode the audio information for playback.

		AIFF and AIFF-C: (.aif,.aiff,.aifc) AIFF stands for Audio Interchange File Format and was developed by Apple for storage of sounds in the data fork.
		AIFF is a very flexible file format, allowing the specification of arbitrary sampling rates, sample size, number of channels, and application-specific format chunks which can be ignored by other applications.
		Compressed instruments have the same format as compressed SoundCap files, and uncompressed instruments are likewise similar to uncompressed SoundCap files, with the addition of an eight-byte header.

	Audio Interchange File Format
		The WAVE format is sort of a bastardized standard that was concocted by too many "cooks" who didn't properly coordinate the addition of "ingredients" to the "soup".
		Unlike with the AIFF standard which was mostly designed by a small, coordinated group, the WAVE format has had all manner of much-too-independent, uncoordinated aberrations inflicted upon it.
		Of course, as you've come to expect from the WAVE file format, it duplicates some of the information that can be found in the Cue and Playlist chunks, but fortunately, in a more sensible, consistent, better-documented way.

	With digital audio
		Audio on a compact disc is not compressed and gives the user the highest sound quality; when working with the Internet, sound must be compressed to make a smaller file for downloading.
		AIFF files can be played by many audio players such as Quicktime and can also be easily converted to other formats such as CD audio files and mp3.
		The files are played using a free “plug-in” that is available from their Web site and you can obtain a free encoder to convert files from WAV to Real Audio format.
