WAV is another popular format for storing sound. It was created by Microsoft in partnership with IBM and is most commonly used to store raw, uncompressed audio using pulse-code modulation (PCM). However, the format is flexible and can also hold audio encoded with other compression methods when needed.
AIFF is a standard audio file format for Apple systems, introduced in 1988 and built on the IFF specification. Unlike compressed formats, AIFF stores sound data without compression, preserving the full quality of the recording. In practice, it serves as Apple’s counterpart to the WAV format widely used on Windows.
