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.
