File Extension | AAC |
Full Name | Advanced Audio Coding Format |
File with an .AAC extension contains audio data compressed with an advanced method. It is similar to the MP3 files, but it usually contains sound in a better quality, due to more efficient compression algorithms. More often than the ACC extension, for such files the M4A extension is used.
File Extension | APE |
Full Name | Winamp Plug-ins AVS Format |
APE files are used by a tool called Audio Visualization Studio (AVS). Such a file is used to store the visualization for this program. This allows you to add new effects for AVS. Some of these effects are configurable. APEs are binaries that are not intended to be opened and edited by the user.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "AAC") to another (referred to as "APE"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, AAC file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format AAC to format APE becomes essential.
So, how can we perform AAC to APE file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format AAC and transforming it into format APE. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of AAC to APE converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of AAC to APE. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the AAC file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
