Convert MID (MIDI) to AIFC

The MID file extension, which stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is primarily used for storing music data. Introduced in the early 1980s, MIDI technology enables communication between digital musical instruments and computers. Unlike audio files, MID files don't contain actual audio, but rather instructions on how music should be played, such as notes, tempos, and instrument types. This format revolutionized digital music production and remains widely used in various applications, including music composition, editing, and playback on electronic devices.

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.
