 IBM/MS RIFF/MCI Specification 1.0
• Device-Independent Bitmap (DIB) and RIFF DIB file formats
An element may not be a random chunk (except the RIFF chunk, indicating a RIFF file) or random binary data (unless the binary data is supposed to be treated as a file).
The structure of a RIFF file is similar to the structure of an Electronic Arts IFF file.

 Wave File Format - The Sonic Spot
Wave files use the standard RIFF structure which groups the files contents (sample format, digital audio samples, etc.) into separate chunks, each containing it's own header and data bytes.
The first 8 bytes in the file is a standard RIFF chunk header which has a chunk ID of "RIFF" and a chunk size equal to the file size minus the 8 bytes used by the header.
Since the Wave file format is native to Windows and therefor Intel processors, all data values are stored in Little-Endian (least significant byte first) order.

 Iff
RIFF is a variant of IFF format devised by Microsoft and IBM; RIFF files differ from IFF files in that they have letters RIFF at the beginning and use little-endian integers.
The file format TIFF was invented by Aldus to include high-depth bitmaps with PostScript; it is similar to IFF, and has similar name, but is otherwise unrelated.
Most files with.iff extension are in fact ILBM files, wrongly named so because they are most common IFF files and most people think they are the only type of IFF files (on most systems that produce IFF files extensions are not important).

 WAVE File Format
The WAVE file format is a subset of Microsoft's RIFF spec, which can include lots of different kinds of data.
RIFF is a file format for storing many kinds of data, primarily multimedia data like audio and video.
It was originally intended for multimedia files, but the spec is open enough to allow pretty much anything to be placed in such a file, and ignored by programs that read the format correctly.

If the format were to come after the data, all of the data and then the format would have to be streamed before playback could start correctly.

 Interchange File Format from FOLDOC
The main difference is that, in RIFF files, numbers are little-endian as on Intel processors, whereas in IFF files they are big-endian, as on the Motorola 68000 processors in the Amiga where IFF files were first used.
Then comes an ID that indicates which type of IFF file this is. The main image type is ILBM, audio is either AIFF or 8SVX, animations are ANIM etc. An IFF file will probably have a filename extension related to this file type stored in the file.
The rest of the file is divided into chunks each of which also has a four-byte header and byte count.

 IBM/MS RIFF/MCI Specification 1.0
RIFF has a counterpart, RIFX, that is used to define RIFF file formats that use the Motorola integer byte-ordering format rather than the Intel format.
RIFF is not actually a file format itself (since it does not represent a specific kind of information), but its name contains the words "interchange file format" in recognition of its roots in IFF.
An element may not be a random chunk (except the RIFF chunk, indicating a RIFF file) or random binary data (unless the binary data is supposed to be treated as a file).
