Convert AIFF to CAF

Total Audio MP3 Converter converts AIFF to CAF as easy as 1-2-3. The software could encode CAF file with different codecs such as PCM 8-bit, PCM 16-bit, PCM 24-bit, PCM 32-bit, IMA ADPCM (4-bit), and GSM. The converter can also combine multiple AIFF files to one CAF.

The software is also a powerful audio converter that converts any formats to common audio formats such as AMR, OGG, WMA, AIFF, AAC, M4A (MPEG-4 audio), CAF, M4B (MPEG-4 audiobook), FLAC, AU, etc. It could convert MKA to M4R (iPhone ringtone), OGA to MP4 (audio track), AAC to FLAC, AMR to AAC, QT to AAC, MKV to MKA, RMJ to AIFF, M4B to AMR, and so on.

Total Audio MP3 Converter supports batch conversion and, is full compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Vista and Windows 7.

AIFF to CAF Software is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, 2008, 2003, and 2000

What is AIFF?
Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) is an audio file format standard used for storing sound data for personal computers and other electronic audio devices. The format was co-developed by Apple Computer in 1988 based on Electronic Arts' Interchange File Format (IFF, widely used on Amiga systems) and is most commonly used on Apple Macintosh computer systems. AIFF is also used by Silicon Graphics Incorporated. The audio data in a standard AIFF file is uncompressed big-endian pulse-code modulation (PCM). There is also a compressed variant of AIFF known as AIFF-C or AIFC, with various defined compression codecs.

Standard AIFF is a leading format (along with SDII and WAV) used by professional-level audio and video applications, and unlike the better-known lossy MP3 format, it is non-compressed (which aids rapid streaming of multiple audio files from disk to the application), and lossless. Like any non-compressed, lossless format, it uses much more disk space than MP3¡ªabout 10MB for one minute of stereo audio at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and a sample size of 16 bits. In addition to audio data, AIFF can include loop point data and the musical note of a sample, for use by hardware samplers and musical applications.

The file extension for the standard AIFF format is .aiff or .aif. For the compressed variants it is supposed to be .aifc, but .aiff or .aif are accepted as well by audio applications supporting the format.

What is CAF?
Apple's Core Audio Format is a flexible, state-of-the-art file format for storing and manipulating digital audio data. It is fully supported by Core Audio APIs on Mac OS X v10.4 and later and on Mac OS X v10.3 with QuickTime 7 or later. CAF provides high performance and flexibility, and is scalable to future ultra-high resolution audio recording, editing, and playback.

Core Audio Format is designed to overcome limitations of older digital audio formats, including AIFF and WAV. Just like the QuickTime .mov container, a .caf container can contain many different audio formats, metadata tracks, and much more data. Not limited to a 4 GB file size like older digital audio formats, a single .caf file can theoretically save hundreds of years of recorded audio due to its use of 64-bit file offsets.

CAF files have several advantages over other standard audio file formats: unrestricted file size, safe and efficient recording, supports for many data formats, supports for many types of auxiliary data, and supports for data dependencies.
