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.
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.

Matroska (MKV) is a free, open-source, container standard that can hold an unlimited amount of audiovisual and multimedia files in a single file format. Since it is open source, a user can customize it with open-source software. The name derives from “Matryoshka” dolls, which is a famous type of Russian handicraft that consists of a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size nested one inside another.
The best way to open an MKV file is to use VLC media player. This media player is compatible with all operating systems and platforms. This is important because MKV is not an industry standard, which means that other media players might not support it.
Additionally, MKV does not use codecs to compress file size, which means the file can be quite large. Therefore, another option for opening an MKV file is to download the appropriate codecs that are compatible with the selected media player. To accomplish this, download the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP) from a trusted site, such as Ninite.
