So, you may be wondering why we’re still using WAV if AIFF is clearly the better choice. They’re both lossless which means there’s NO file compression whatsoever. In terms of sound quality, WAV and AIFF are identical. The only way to “attach” metadata to WAV files would be to use ID3 Tags. Is one really better than the other? It depends who you ask, but I’d argue that AIFF is superior to WAV because it has the ability to store metadata “permanently” (that means within the file). Regardless of the method(s) you decided to work with, we’ll be covering everything in this article so that you can make well-educated decisions! On the other hand, you could simply choose to work with Apple Interchangeable File Format (AIFF) since it possesses the ability to hold “permanent” metadata (unlike WAV). Another alternative you could consider is acoustic fingerprinting technology like Acoustic ID (more on this later). However, that doesn’t mean that we can’t “attach” metadata using ID3 Tags (more on this later).
I’ll also be demonstrating how to embed “temporary” metadata to WAV/AIFF files and how to take advantage of acoustic fingerprinting technology.īy now, you should be aware that WAV files cannot hold metadata.
However, I’ve dedicated the rest of this article to explaining why you’d want to consider working with AIFF (in addition WAV). As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.ĭoes WAV Support metadata? The short answer to that question is NO.
