AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is a file format that is usually common among Macintosh computers and used to transmit superlative audio data. The AIFF format is used for stereo, monaural and multi-channel sound. Apple computer discovered this format in the late 80’s and this is why the files have an extension variant of .aif and .ief.
