Core Audio Format (CAF) is Apple’s professional audio container, introduced with Mac OS X Tiger. Unlike WAV and AIFF, which are effectively capped at 4 GB, a CAF file has no practical size limit, so it can hold hours of high-resolution multichannel audio in one piece. CAF is a container rather than a codec: the audio inside may be uncompressed PCM, Apple Lossless, AAC, or several other encodings.

 

How to open a CAF file?

On macOS, CAF opens in QuickTime Player, the Music app, Logic Pro, and GarageBand without any extra software.

 

On Windows and Linux, use VLC media player or Audacity, and FFmpeg for batch conversion. Because CAF is largely an Apple-only format, converting it makes sharing far easier — try our CAF to MP3 or CAF to WAV tool.

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.

 

How to open an ALAC file?

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.
