What is AIF file?

The AIF (Audio Interchange File Format) sound file extension is one of the oldest and still used audio file formats, originating in 1988 with Apple's Mac OS 7. Today, the AIF file format is supported by many programs for both encoding and decoding audio such as Adobe Audition, iTunes, AIMP, Windows Media Player, and QuickTime. AIF files enable the transmission of audio between platforms and may include sample-rate, bit-depth, sound quality information, and certain embedded data chunks. [ ⏩ ] AIF file extension

How to convert the file from AIF to MP2?

To successfully convert the AIF file to MP2, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.AIF).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. AIF to MP2. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting AIF files to MP2 files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension MP2, while before this step we had the AIF file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new MP2 file, or not.
