Frequently Asked Questions
What is AIFF format?
AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is an uncompressed audio format developed by Apple. It's similar to WAV but uses big-endian byte order and is preferred on macOS and Apple audio software.
What is MP2 format?
MP2 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer II) is an audio codec commonly used in radio and television broadcasting, especially in the DVB standard. It's a lossy format that offers higher quality than MP3 at the same bitrate.
Will converting MP2 to AIFF improve quality?
No. MP2 is a lossy format, so the quality is already reduced from the original. Converting to AIFF creates an uncompressed file but cannot restore lost quality. However, AIFF is useful for archiving and editing without further quality loss.
Why are AIFF files so large?
AIFF is uncompressed, storing raw PCM audio data. A 3-minute MP2 file (5-10 MB) will become a 30 MB AIFF file. The benefit is no additional quality loss and compatibility with professional audio software.
Should I use AIFF or WAV?
Both are uncompressed and offer identical audio quality. AIFF is preferred on macOS and Apple software, while WAV is more common on Windows. For cross-platform compatibility, WAV is slightly more universal.
