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.

Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is a file format that shrinks an audio file’s size, which, as the word “lossless” in the name implies, results in no loss in audio quality or original data. FLAC accomplishes this by using an algorithm that compresses the file to approximately 50 to 70 percent of its original size.
The default program for opening a FLAC file is VLC media player. Other details about FLAC include that it is unpatented, permits music reproduction, is compatible with Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI), and is not subject to digital rights management (DRM).
Additionally, codecs that can implement FLAC include FFmpeg, Flake and FLACCL for encoding, and Audiocogs for decoding. Lastly, as the word “free” in the name suggests, FLAC is open-source software.
