AIFF vs MP2 Format Comparison

Aspect	AIFF (Source Format)	MP2 (Target Format)
Format Overview	AIFF Audio Interchange File Format AIFF is an uncompressed, lossless audio file format developed by Apple in 1988. It stores PCM data and is widely used in professional audio environments. Lossless Uncompressed	MP2 MPEG-1 Audio Layer II MP2 is a lossy audio compression format standardized in 1993 as part of MPEG-1. It offers lower complexity encoding and robust error resistance, widely used in broadcasting. Lossy Compressed
Technical Specifications	Sample Rates: 8kHz - 192kHz Bit Depths: 8, 16, 24, 32-bit Encoding: Linear PCM Max Channels: Up to 8 channels Extensions: .aiff, .aif, .aifc	Sample Rates: 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz Bit Rate Mode: CBR only Bit Rates: 32–384 kbps Channels: mono (1), stereo (2) Extensions: .mp2, .m2a
Advantages	Lossless compression – no data discarded High fidelity suitable for professional editing Wide support in DAWs	Low computational complexity Robust to bit errors Ideal for broadcast environments Simple bitstream structure
Disadvantages	Large file sizes compared to compressed formats No advanced metadata support Less efficient for streaming	Less compression efficiency vs MP3/AAC Fixed bit rate only Limited consumer playback support
Compatibility	Excellent: Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Adobe Audition, Most DAWs Good: QuickTime Player, VLC, iTunes Limited: Web browsers by default	Excellent: DAB digital radio, MPEG-TS Good: VLC, Foobar2000 Limited: Consumer MP3 players
Common Uses	Professional recording and editing Archiving uncompressed audio Broadcast production	Radio and TV broadcasting Digital audio in MPEG streams Archiving broadcast content Low-latency live audio

Why Convert AIFF to MP2?

Converting AIFF to MP2 reduces file size and latency while preserving audio clarity, making it perfect for broadcast environments requiring robust error resistance and minimal computational overhead.
