What is a AU file?
This type of file represents a simple audio file that was primarily common on NeXT systems and early Web pages. The AU file format was, at first, used by Sun or some similar Unix-based machine, but now, it can be opened with other audio programs as well. To reproduce this file format, you can use Nullsoft Winamp, Apple QuickTime Player, Microsoft Windows Media Player, RealNetworks, RealPlayer Cloud, or Adobe Audition CC. Although AU files are quite small and have poor sound quality, they store information in three sections. The first one is called header, with a maximum of 24 bytes. Next, there’s a variable-length annotation block. And last but not least, there’s the audio data itself.
What is a AIF file?
Audio Interchange File Format, known as AIF file, was developed by Apple in 1988. This type of file format is used to store standard CD audio with an uncompressed CD-quality audio similar to a WAV file. It contains two channels of uncompressed stereo audio with 16 bits sample size. AIF is a relatively large file and mostly used in Microsoft Windows. On the other hand, you can easily open every file in AIF format with Apple QuickTime Player, Apple iTunes, and Adobe Audition CS6 in Mac devices. There is one more thing you have to know about this type of file format. There is a possibility that some AIF files are data files rather than documents or media, which means that sometimes they aren't meant to be viewed at all.
