Convert AIFC to CAF

The AIFC file extension stands for Compressed Audio Interchange File Format, which is a variant of the AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) used for storing audio data. Developed by Apple in the late 1980s, AIFC files incorporate compression to reduce file size while maintaining audio quality, making them suitable for professional audio applications. They support various compression codecs, such as ADPCM and MPEG-4, and are commonly used in digital audio workstations and multimedia software. AIFC files ensure high fidelity and compatibility across different platforms, enhancing audio storage and distribution efficiency.

The CAF (Core Audio Format) file extension is a flexible, high-performance file format for storing audio data developed by Apple Inc. and introduced with Mac OS X 10.4 to the market. It supports a wide range of audio formats, enabling efficient audio recording, editing, and playback. CAF files are widely used in professional audio environments due to their support for 64-bit audio file offsets, allowing them to accommodate audio files of virtually unlimited size, making them ideal for long recordings and high-quality sound samples. They also support metadata, enabling the storage of additional information about the audio content.
