What is a APE file?

APE, also known as Monkey’s Audio, is a lossless audio compression format. It reduces file size without any loss in sound quality, making it ideal for audiophiles who want to preserve original recordings. APE files typically compress better than FLAC, though they require more processing power.

APE isn’t as widely supported as other lossless formats, but it’s favored in high-end music collections and archival storage. The format also supports metadata tagging and error detection.

How to open APE files

APE files can be opened with Foobar2000, MediaMonkey, and JRiver Media Center. Some players may require additional plugins to support this format.

To make APE files more portable, convert them to FLAC or MP3 using AnyConv online.

What is a FLAC file?

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is one of the most popular formats for storing high-quality digital music without any loss in audio fidelity. It compresses audio efficiently while preserving every bit of the original recording — unlike MP3 or AAC, which are lossy.

FLAC is widely used by audiophiles and music collectors due to its open-source nature, excellent compression ratio, and support for rich metadata. It has become a standard in the world of lossless digital audio.

FLAC files can be played with VLC, Foobar2000, Winamp, and many modern smartphones. FLAC is also supported by popular audio editors and library tools like MusicBee.
