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.

MPEG-4 (MP4) is a container video format that can store multimedia data, usually audio and video. It is compatible with a wide range of devices and operating systems, using a codec to compress file size, resulting in a file that is easy to manage and store. It is also a popular video format for streaming over the Internet, such as on YouTube. Many consider MP4 to be one of the best video formats available today.
MP4 files open in the operating system's default video player. Simply double-clicking the file opens it. There is no need for third-party software. On Windows, it opens in Windows Media Player. On Mac, it opens in QuickTime.
On some devices, particularly mobile, opening this file type can be problematic. MP4 is a container that contains various kinds of data, so when there is a problem opening the file, it usually means that data in the container (an audio or video codec) is not compatible with the device’s OS. To resolve this issue, try VLC media player.
