Information AboutAiff |
|
The audio data in an AIFF file is uncompressed Big-endian Pulse-code Modulation (PCM) so the files tend to be much larger than files that use Lossless Compression (such as FLAC ) or Lossy Compression formats such as Vorbis and MP3 . Uncompressed AIFF files at Compact-disc Settings (44.1Ksamples/sec, 16 bits, 2 channels) thus have a bitrate of 1411.2 kbits/sec. The AIFF-Compressed (AIFF-C or AIFC) format supports compression ratios as high as 6:1. An AIFF file is divided into a number of chunks. Each chunk is identified by a ''chunk ID'' known as a OSType . Types of chunks found in AIFF files:
