AIFF
Audio Interchange File Format is a file format standard used for storing audio data on PCs. The format was co-developed by Apple based on Electronic Arts Interchange File Format (IFF) and is most commonly used on Apple computers.
An AIFF file is divided into a number of chunks. Each chunk is identified by a chunk ID known as a OSType.
Types of chunks found in AIFF files:
- Common Chunk (required)
- Sound Data Chunk (required)
- Marker Chunk
- Instrument Chunk
- Comment Chunk
- Name Chunk
- Author Chunk
