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.

iPod Audio is an M4A file encoded for Apple iPod players, using AAC audio in an MPEG-4 container. This is the format the iTunes Store sold music in for years, chosen because AAC gives better sound than MP3 at the same file size — a real advantage on a device with limited storage. Track titles, artist names, and album artwork are all carried inside the file.
Add the file to your library in iTunes or the Apple Music app, then sync the iPod. It appears in the device’s music library ready to play.
On a computer the same M4A plays in iTunes, VLC media player, Windows Media Player, and foobar2000. Very early iPod models and most non-Apple players expect MP3 instead, so convert the file with our M4A to MP3 tool if it will not appear on the device.
