AIFF Streamer FAQ
How do I play a AIFF file online?
Upload your AIFF file. When your browser can decode AIFF, it plays right away and you hear exactly what the file holds; when it cannot, the page says so and links to a converter.
Does the AIFF player preserve full audio quality?
Yes. AIFF stores audio with no quality loss, and the player decodes it sample-for-sample — exactly what you'd hear from the original master.
Can the player show the AIFF sample rate and bit depth?
No. The player plays the AIFF but does not show technical details such as the sample rate or bit depth.
Why is my AIFF file so much larger than an MP3?
AIFF is lossless — it keeps all the original audio data instead of discarding it like MP3. That's why AIFF files are several times larger but sound identical to the master.
Is AIFF good for archiving my music?
Yes. Because AIFF is lossless you can re-encode it to any other format later with no generational quality loss, which makes it ideal for archival masters.
Is my AIFF file sent to a server?
No. Your AIFF file is decoded entirely in your browser and never uploaded.
Does the AIFF player work on mobile devices?
It works in mobile and desktop browsers that can decode AIFF. Where a browser cannot, the page says so and links to a converter.
Can I hear the difference between AIFF and a lossy file?
On good headphones or speakers, AIFF preserves detail that lossy encoders discard. The player lets you A/B by loading both and comparing.
Can I adjust playback speed for a AIFF file?
The player has no playback speed control of its own. Your AIFF file is never changed.
My high-resolution AIFF file won't load — why?
Very large 24-bit/96 kHz AIFF files can exceed mobile memory limits. Try a desktop browser, or convert the AIFF to a smaller format first.
Do I need to install anything to play AIFF?
No. The AIFF player runs in your browser with no software, account, or plugin required.
Can I convert AIFF to a smaller format here?
Yes. Since AIFF is lossless, you can convert it to MP3, AAC, or OGG for portable use whenever you like.
