Monkey’s Audio (APE) is a lossless audio compression format, meaning it shrinks a recording without discarding any of the original sound. Decompressing an APE returns a file bit-for-bit identical to the source WAV or CD track. APE typically achieves slightly better compression than FLAC, but it is more demanding to decode and far less widely supported, so it is mostly used by audiophiles archiving CD collections.
On Windows, the reference Monkey’s Audio application plays and converts APE. foobar2000 is the most widely used player for large APE libraries.
VLC media player plays APE on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and FFmpeg handles it from the command line. Most phones, car stereos, and streaming devices cannot read APE at all, so convert your files with our APE to MP3 tool, or to FLAC if you want to stay lossless.

iPhone Audio is an M4A file encoded for Apple iPhone, containing AAC audio in an MPEG-4 container. AAC delivers noticeably better sound than MP3 at the same bitrate, which is why Apple adopted it as the default for the iTunes Store and for music on iOS. Choosing this preset produces a file the iPhone plays natively, with artwork and track tags intact.
On the phone, the file plays straight away in the Music, Voice Memos, or Files app — nothing extra is required.
To get the file onto the device, sync it through iTunes, the Finder on macOS, or iCloud Drive. On a computer the same M4A opens in iTunes, the Apple Music app, Windows Media Player, VLC media player, and every major web browser. For maximum compatibility with older devices, convert it with our M4A to MP3 tool.
