Convert M4R to CAF

The M4R file extension stands for MPEG-4 Ringtone and is primarily used for creating custom ringtones for Apple devices, particularly iPhones. This format, a variant of the standard MPEG-4 Audio (M4A), emerged alongside the introduction of the iPhone in 2007. M4R files utilize Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) for compression, ensuring high-quality sound in a compact file size. Their use is strictly tied to Apple's ecosystem, allowing users to personalize their device's ringtones through the iTunes platform. M4R's history is closely linked to the evolution of mobile technology and the personalization trend in smartphone usage.

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.
