Audio Interchange File Format (AIFC) is the compressed version of AIFF. The primary purpose of AIFC is to contain CD-quality audio, as well as information about musical instruments. Sometimes the file extensions for AIFC and AIFF present as interchangeable, even though the one ending in “C” is the correct designation.
The best program for opening an AIFC file is iTunes. Another great option is VLC media player, which is a reliable program that works across most platforms, including Mac OS X and mobile.
On Windows specifically, QuickTime and Windows Media Player can also open AIFC files.

Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) is Apple’s lossless audio format, stored inside an M4A container. It compresses a recording to roughly half its original size while preserving every sample, so decoding returns audio identical to the source CD or WAV. ALAC is the natural choice for lossless libraries in the Apple ecosystem, and Apple released it as open-source in 2011, which broadened support well beyond its own devices.
On Apple devices, ALAC plays directly in the Music app, iTunes, or QuickTime with no setup at all.
Elsewhere, VLC media player, foobar2000, and Android all read ALAC. Since ALAC files carry the .m4a extension, they look identical to lossy AAC files in a file listing — check the track properties to tell them apart. To free up space or play the music on limited hardware, convert it with our M4A to MP3 tool.
