Convert WAV to AIFF
What is WAV?
WAV
WAV stores uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio as raw waveform samples, typically 16-bit or 24-bit at 44.1kHz or 48kHz sampling rates. Also supports compressed formats like MP3 or AAC as payload. Standard CD audio uses 44.1kHz/16-bit stereo. Provides lossless audio quality without psychoacoustic compression. Converting between audio formats may involve compression (WAV→MP3) or decompression (MP3→WAV).
- WAV encodes audio using lossless compression at various bitrates
- Lossless audio data provides full fidelity for AIFF conversion
- Sample rate and bit depth preserved or downsampled for AIFF compatibility
What is AIFF?
AIFF
AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is Apple's uncompressed audio format storing PCM waveform data at CD quality (44.1kHz, 16-bit) or higher. Similar to WAV but Mac-native. Large file sizes (10MB per minute at CD quality) but perfect audio fidelity. Converting to other audio formats involves compression decisions.
- AIFF encodes audio using lossless compression at various bitrates
- Lossless audio data provides full fidelity for WAV conversion
- Sample rate and bit depth preserved or downsampled for WAV compatibility
