Monkey’s Audio (APE) is a lossless audio compression format, meaning it shrinks a recording without discarding any of the original sound. Decompressing an APE returns a file bit-for-bit identical to the source WAV or CD track. APE typically achieves slightly better compression than FLAC, but it is more demanding to decode and far less widely supported, so it is mostly used by audiophiles archiving CD collections.
On Windows, the reference Monkey’s Audio application plays and converts APE. foobar2000 is the most widely used player for large APE libraries.
VLC media player plays APE on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and FFmpeg handles it from the command line. Most phones, car stereos, and streaming devices cannot read APE at all, so convert your files with our APE to MP3 tool, or to FLAC if you want to stay lossless.

Apple developed Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) to store high-quality, digital-audio (waveform) data. Many professionals use it, particularly users of Apple platforms. It is lossless, which means there is no loss of quality or data from the original, but this also means that AIFF files take up more space. AIFF can locate loop point data and musical notes, which is useful for musicians.
By default, AIFF opens in Windows Media Player or iTunes, depending on the operating system. Other programs that open AIFF include VLC media player, Audacity, Winamp, and Elmedia Player.
Please note that if using an Android or non-Apple device, you will need to convert the AIFF file—likely to a MP3 file—in order to open it. Mobile Apple products open AIFF files without file conversion.
