Convert ADTS to AIFF

ADTS to AIFF Converter converts ADTS files to AIFF. The converter focuses on AIFF file that supports almost all codecs in AIFF specification, for example, pcm 8-bit, pcm 16-bit, pcm 24-bit, pcm 32-bit, pcm 32-bit float, pcm 64-bit float, a-Law, mu-Law, IEEE 754 float, ima4, gsm, dwvw, and so on. The software also supports common file format such as MMF, VOC, M4R (iPhone ringtone), MP2, M4B (MPEG-4 audiobook), WMA, AAC, AAC for iPod/iPhone/iPad/iTunes/DSi, etc. It could convert AMR to VOC, 3GP to WAV, OGG to M4R (iPhone ringtone), MP4 to AAC, SPX to OGG, MP4 to AU, and so on.

The software is very easy to use and supports batch conversion. It is full compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP/2000.

ADTS to AIFF Converter is compatible with Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP/2008/2003/2000

What is ADTS?
ADTS stands for Audio Data Transport Stream. ADTS is a container for AAC encoded audio. It consists of a series of frames, each frame having a header followed by the AAC audio data. The formats are defined in MPEG-2 Part 7, but are only considered informative by MPEG-4.

AAC compressed audio data may be stored in either an MPEG-4 container file format (.mp4, .m4a) or more basic MPEG-2 based file formats such as a ADTS (.aac, .adts) Audio Data Transport Stream file.

An MPEG-4 file contains a header that includes meta-data followed by "tracks" which can include video as well as audio data, for example, H.264 encoded Video and AAC encoded Audio.

ADTS in contrast is a streaming format consisting of a series of frames, each frame having a header followed by the AAC data.

Therefore, a decoder can start playing a ADTS stream at any point within that stream making it ideal for "radio" like applications. To decode an MPEG-4 file however, the file header must first be read in order to properly playback the file.

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.
