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.

iPad Audio is an M4A file prepared for Apple iPad, holding AAC-encoded audio inside an MPEG-4 container. AAC is Apple’s preferred audio codec because it sounds better than MP3 at an equivalent bitrate, and the iPad decodes it in hardware, which keeps battery use low during long listening sessions.
Tap the file on the tablet and it opens in the Music or Files app immediately. iPadOS supports M4A natively, so no third-party player is needed.
Transfer the file using the Finder on macOS, iTunes on Windows, iCloud Drive, or AirDrop. The same file also plays on a computer in iTunes, VLC media player, or Windows Media Player. If you need it on an older MP3 player or car stereo, our M4A to MP3 converter handles the change.
