About formats

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) was developed by Apple in 1988, drawing its structural design from Electronic Arts' IFF standard. As an uncompressed audio container, AIFF stores linear PCM data at full CD quality — typically 16-bit at 44.1 kHz — preserving every detail of the original recording without lossy encoding. The format organizes content into chunks that can also carry metadata such as markers, instrument definitions, and comments. Professional audio engineers on macOS frequently rely on AIFF because it guarantees bit-perfect fidelity through every stage of editing and mastering. One significant advantage is zero generational loss: unlike MP3 or AAC, repeated saves never degrade the signal. Another strength is seamless integration with Apple's professional tools, including Logic Pro and GarageBand, where AIFF serves as a native working format. The container supports multiple sample rates and bit depths up to 32-bit, accommodating high-resolution workflows that exceed CD-quality specifications. For anyone prioritizing lossless integrity over storage efficiency, AIFF remains a dependable choice across the recording industry.

WVE is the audio format native to the Psion Series 3 family of personal digital assistants, released by British company Psion PLC beginning in September 1991. These clamshell PDAs included a built-in voice recorder, and all dictation functionality relied on WVE files to store captured sound. Each file begins with the ASCII signature "ALawSoundFile**" followed by a minimal header, then raw A-law encoded audio sampled at 8 kHz — a rate inherited from digital telephony standards. At 8000 bytes per second, a one-minute recording occupies just 480 KB, which was essential given that Psion devices stored data on SRAM cards typically ranging from 128 KB to 2 MB. The A-law encoding provides reasonable speech clarity within these tight storage constraints, prioritizing intelligibility over high-fidelity reproduction. WVE files can be converted to WAV or other modern formats using SoX, Awave Studio, or specialized Psion file utilities. While the format is firmly a product of early-1990s handheld computing, it holds historical significance as one of the first audio recording formats designed for pocket-sized consumer devices. Collectors and researchers studying mobile computing history occasionally encounter WVE files when recovering data from legacy SRAM media.
