File Extension | FLAC |
Full Name | Audio Files Encoded By Flac - Free Lossless Audio Codec |
FLAC file is a audio file compressed in lossless audio format, famous for its robustness. Most digital audio devices and recording and editing software offer support for FLAC files.
File Extension | AIF |
Full Name | Audio Interchange File Format Sound Format |
AIF is an audio format used by Apple's hardware and software platforms. The digital audio material stored in this file is uncompressed (PCM) and the data recording form used is Big endian. The AIF format can be used to store high-quality samples generated at different sampling rates and other audio data.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "FLAC") to another (referred to as "AIF"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, FLAC 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 FLAC to format AIF becomes essential.
So, how can we perform FLAC to AIF 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 FLAC and transforming it into format AIF. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of FLAC to AIF 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 FLAC to AIF. 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 FLAC 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.
