What is an AIFF?

Audio Interchange File format (AIFF) is an audio file format normally used to store data for personal computers and any other electronic audio device. Developed by Apple Inc. in 1988, this format is based on IFF (Electronic Arts’ Interchange File Format) which is mostly used on Amiga systems and on Apple Macintosh computer systems.

A standard AIFF format has a file extension that looks like .aiff or .aif and the compressed variants should show something like .aifc however, .aiff and .aif can also be accepted by audio applications that are compatible with this format.

The AIFF file is comprised of a variety chunks with every chunk using an ID or a FourCC for identification.

There is the common chunk, instrument chunk, name chunk, sound data chunk, comment chunk, marker chunk, ID3 chunk, author chunk, MIDI chunk, annotation chunk, application chunk, copyright chunk and the Audio recording chunk. Metadata is stored in the author, name, copyright, annotation and comment chunks.
