AIFF and OGG explained
AIFF is Apple's uncompressed audio format, functionally equivalent to WAV but with better metadata support and big-endian byte order.
OGG here means Ogg Vorbis, a royalty-free lossy codec that predates Opus. It is competitive with AAC and remains common in games.
- Where AIFF files come from
- Mac audio production and older Apple software.
- Where OGG is used
- Game audio, Spotify's older streams and open-source projects.
