A standardized file for storing audio information. Supported by virtually all music players and playable on almost all mobile devices. When the audio data is compressed, the sound quality decreases, albeit insignificantly. The compression process erases the frequency that is imperceivable to the human ear. This format allows you to save storage space. You can store and send the audio files after compression. The MP3 format was developed by the German company Fraunhofer IIS. The user can adjust the compression ratio and the audio file quality.

Core Audio Format

This audio file container was created by Apples developers. CAF incorporates a huge amount of information: the artists name, the songs duration, the names of the album and track. In terms of size, files of the CAFformat can exceed 4 GB. After its emergence in 2005, Core Audio Format replaced AIFF and WAV. It has a lower compression ratio, so the quality of audio does not suffer as a result of compression. CAF files are often used to create various sound effects.
