What is AIFF?
Apple's uncompressed format. Similar to WAV but with better metadata support. Used in professional Mac audio workflows.
What is FLAC?
Lossless compression. Perfect quality at roughly half the size of WAV. The choice for audiophiles and archiving.
Why Convert AIFF to FLAC?
AIFF and FLAC are both lossless, but FLAC compresses the data — typically cutting file sizes by 40-60% with zero quality loss. FLAC also has broader support outside Apple's ecosystem. If you're archiving music or moving to a cross-platform setup, FLAC gives you the same quality in a smaller, more universal package.
