Core Audio Format (CAF) is Apple’s professional audio container, introduced with Mac OS X Tiger. Unlike WAV and AIFF, which are effectively capped at 4 GB, a CAF file has no practical size limit, so it can hold hours of high-resolution multichannel audio in one piece. CAF is a container rather than a codec: the audio inside may be uncompressed PCM, Apple Lossless, AAC, or several other encodings.

 

How to open a CAF file?

On macOS, CAF opens in QuickTime Player, the Music app, Logic Pro, and GarageBand without any extra software.

 

On Windows and Linux, use VLC media player or Audacity, and FFmpeg for batch conversion. Because CAF is largely an Apple-only format, converting it makes sharing far easier — try our CAF to MP3 or CAF to WAV tool.

Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is a file format that shrinks an audio file’s size, which, as the word “lossless” in the name implies, results in no loss in audio quality or original data. FLAC accomplishes this by using an algorithm that compresses the file to approximately 50 to 70 percent of its original size.

 

How to open a FLAC file?

The default program for opening a FLAC file is VLC media player. Other details about FLAC include that it is unpatented, permits music reproduction, is compatible with Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI), and is not subject to digital rights management (DRM).

 

Additionally, codecs that can implement FLAC include FFmpeg, Flake and FLACCL for encoding, and Audiocogs for decoding. Lastly, as the word “free” in the name suggests, FLAC is open-source software.
