AIFF to OGG Converter

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format)

The AIFF extension is an audio format file developed by Apple Computer in 1988 based on Electronic Arts' IFF format, and is most commonly used in Apple Macintosh computers. Contains CD-quality audio that is stored in an uncompressed lossless format. The content of the file is uncompressed PCM data, a digitized analog audio signal. Like any uncompressed file, AIFF files take up much more disk space than their compressed counterparts: one minute of stereo audio at 44.1 kHz sampling rate and 16 bits takes about 10 MB. The standard file extension is .AIFF or .AIF, for the compressed version the .AIFC extension must be used. AIFFs are widely supported and can store LPCM, they are suitable file formats for storing and archiving the original recording.

OGG (Ogg Vorbis Audio File)

An OGG file is a compressed audio file that uses the free, proprietary Ogg Vorbis audio compression. Many connoisseurs of modern audio formats consider the Ogg format to be one of the most promising and, in particular, a worthy competitor to popular formats. Basically, it is a multimedia container format standard that is run by the non-profit organization Xiph.Org. Ogg Vorbis has the most modern and high quality psychoacoustic model, which is why the bitrate / quality ratio is significantly better than that of competitors. The OGG format has the main advantage - with the same bitrate, this format gives a higher quality in comparison with other formats. This 320 kbps bitrate format is used in Spotify broadcasts. In addition to the open source code, it should be noted that OGG is multiplatform. The encoder is compatible with almost all available operating systems.
