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 | 🔵 .mp (MPEG Layer Audio) The .mp format is an audio coding format for digital audio which uses a form of lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio streaming or storage, as well as a standard de facto codec for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players. MP files compress audio data by eliminating sounds that are outside the hearing range of most people, thus reducing the file size without significantly affecting the perceived sound quality. |
Technical details | 🔵 The `.mp3` format, MPEG-1 Audio Layer III, is a popular digital audio format. Here are the key technical details: - Lossy Compression: Reduces file size by removing less audible sounds. - Compression Ratio: Typically around 10:1, balancing quality and size. - Bitrate: Encoded at different rates, affecting quality and size. - Sampling Rates: Supports various rates, including CD quality. - Channel Modes: Offers mono, stereo, joint stereo, and dual channel. - Metadata: Stores info like title, artist, and genre (ID3 tags). - Streaming: Suitable for internet audio streaming. - Universal Playback: Compatible with most devices and software. - Variable Bitrate (VBR): Dynamically adjusts bitrate for efficiency. - Frequency Range: Covers 20 Hz to 20 kHz (human hearing range). - File Size: Much smaller than uncompressed audio. - Psychoacoustic Model: Removes less audible frequencies. - Developed by Fraunhofer Society in the 1990s. MP3 revolutionized the music industry for its efficient compression and wide compatibility, enabling digital audio storage and sharing. |
