APE Audio Format APE Converter
An APE file is an audio file containing data that has been compressed with Monkey’s Audio lossless compression algorithm - resulting in files that are about 50% smaller but with no loss of sound data. The reduced file sizes make APE files easier to store and to transfer, and because they contain all the original data they can be decompressed back to the source file - making them a popular choice for preserving audio from CDs, vinyl, and tapes.
The APE file was originally developed by Monkey’s Audio in 2000. Because the files take a lot of processing power to decode and play, they aren't supported by all media players. VLC, Adobe Audition 2023, and Monkey’s Audio’s own software can be used to play APE files, and plugins may be available for other media players.

WAV Audio Format WAV Converter
The WAV audio file format was developed by IBM and Microsoft in 1991. WAV stands for Waveform Audio File Format, and it is still a commonly used file type. You can open WAV files with almost all media players and devices because it’s such an established format.
Unlike many other popular audio formats like MP3 or AAC, WAV files are uncompressed and ‘lossless’. This means WAV files have higher sound quality, which is why many musicians prefer to record and play music in WAV format. However, because the files aren’t compressed, the downside is that WAV files can be much bigger than other audio formats – up to 10 times the file size of an MP3. Most users choose to keep their digital music in MP3 or AAC format as they can store more music on their device. MP3 and AAC are also the default formats for many media players.
