Information about AIF and MP3 file formats
| 🔸 File format | AIF | MP3 |
| 🔸 Full name | AIF, Audio Interchange File Format | MP3 - MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III |
| 🔸 File extension | .aif | .mp3 |
| 🔸 MIME type | audio/aiff | audio/mpeg, audio/MPA, audio/mpa-robust |
| 🔸 Developed by | Apple Inc | Fraunhofer Institute |
| 🔸 Type of format | Audio | Digital audio |
| 🔸 Description | AIF (or AIFF) refers to the Audio Interchange File Format. It is the standard for storing sound data on PCs and electronic devices developed by Apple Inc. using EA’s Interchange File Format. AIF file audio data is uncompressed pulse modulation. Compressed versions are known as AIFF-C or AIFC. Unlike MP3 files, AIF is uncompressed, useful for streaming multiple audio files between disks and applications. For example, one minute of stereo audio uses approximately 10MB of storage space at a rate of 44.1 kHz and a bit depth of 16 bits. In addition, loop point data and samples are usable in AIF files. | MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, more commonly referred to as MP3, is an audio coding format for digital audio that uses lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio streaming or storage and a de facto standard of digital audio compression for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players. |
| 🔸 Technical details | The AIF file type was created during the development of the MAC OS X operating system. The little-endian AIFF type (AIFF-C/sowt) is "pseudo-compressed" and is used as a standard for importing and exporting iTunes audio. Those files are still defined as AIF but go unnoticed by users due to the near-identical quality of the sowt and normal files. The main difference is that older OS may not play the AIFF-C/sowt files or ask for conversion before continuing. AIF files contain various chunks, including Marker Chunk, Instrument Chunk, Common Chunk, Sound Data Chunk, Name Chunk, Copyright Chunk, Author Chunk, etc. | Lossy compression is designed to reduce significantly the amount of data required to represent the audio recording and still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio. For example, an MP3 file created using the setting of 128 kbit/s will result in a file about 1/11 the size of the CD file created from the original audio source. |
