This format is very popular mainly on the Mac OS X platform. It is similarly structured to the Wave format and usually contains uncompressed data, but also supports a variety of compressed formats.
Like the WAVE format, the AIFF format supports markers and multichannel data. Amadeus Pro will try to do its best to map the multitrack structure of the document to the ones supported by the AIFF format, but this may fail if your document contains too many different tracks. Metadata (artwork, artist name, etc.) are also saved to AIFF files by appending an ID3 tag at the end of the file.
Due to the nature of the format, AIFF files are limited to 2GB in size. The same remark as for WAVE files applies to AIFF files of sizes between 2GB and 4GB.
