AIF File Type

The AIF file extension stands for Audio Interchange File, a format used for storing sound files. It was originally created in the late 1960s by Sony Corporation. AIFF (Audio Interchange File) is an audio file format that allows an audio data stream to be stored as a single large block of digital data called an "audio frame" using one of three compression methods: Uncompressed linear PCM, lossless compressed linear PCM or lossy compressed linear PCM.

FLAC File Type

FLAC, acronym for Free Lossless Audio Codec, is a compressed audio format that allows uncompressed audio quality to be reduced without introducing any information loss. FLAC is a compressed audio format that can reduce the size of uncompressed audio files and preserve the same high level of sound quality. It uses lossless compression which means it does not remove any part of the data from your original sound file, so you can never lose data in your original file. FLAC was designed by Josh Coalson to be an open source and unpatented alternative to other popular compressed formats such as MP3. FLAC has become one of the most popular formats for music distribution among audiophiles and those wishing to archive old recordings or create digital copies of their albums for personal use.
