Convert AIFC to OGG

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 OGG file extension, specifically associated with Ogg Vorbis Audio, represents a free, open-source container format developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation. Its primary use is to store compressed audio files, ensuring efficient streaming and manipulation. Introduced in the late 1990s, Ogg Vorbis was designed to offer an alternative to proprietary audio formats like MP3, delivering high-quality sound without patent restrictions. Its widespread adoption across various platforms and devices highlights its significance in the digital audio landscape.
