Convert AIFF to AAC

AIFF stands for Audio Interchange File Format, a standard format for storing high-quality audio data used in professional audio and video applications. Introduced by Apple in 1988, AIFF files are uncompressed and lossless, ensuring pristine audio reproduction. Primarily utilized in audio software, digital workstations, and sound engineering, AIFF files maintain original sound quality, making them ideal for editing and mastering. Despite their large file size, their superior audio fidelity is highly valued in professional settings.

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is a digital audio file format designed to provide superior sound quality and compression efficiency compared to older formats like MP3. Developed in the late 1990s by a consortium of companies, including Fraunhofer IIS, Dolby, and Sony, AAC has become the standard audio format for various platforms, including Apple's iTunes and YouTube. It is widely used in streaming, broadcasting, and multimedia applications due to its ability to deliver high-fidelity audio at lower bit rates, making it ideal for bandwidth-constrained environments.
