If you are not  familiar with Apple\u2019s unique file format system, you might be confused by this  audio file extension when you see it for the first time. AIFF files are decoded  by LPCM\uff08Linear Pulse Code Modulation),  which is the same lossless compressing method as WAV. Comparing to the common  MP3 files, AIFF audio files can usually provide a much better audio quality.  But at the same time, the file size of an AIFF file could be as much as 10MB  bigger than an MP3 file. AIFF files are usually supported by Apple products  like iPod\u3001iPhone\u3001Mac etc.  Windows can also play AIFF files with the help of foobar2000. But if you want  to play an AIFF audio file on other devices, you will be having no choice but  converting the AIFF file to other formats like MP3. By converting AIFF to MP3,  you should be able to play the audio file on basically any platform without  limitations. But how to convert AIFF to MP3? What is the best tool to convert  AIFF to MP3?

It\u2019s worth  trying if you are using a Windows PC. However, on a Mac computer, the Foobar2000  approach will not work. So is there a way for the Mac system to convert AIFF to  MP3? Well, the first recommended choice to convert AIFF to MP3 would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/video-converter-mac\/\">Leawo Video Converter for Mac<\/a>.  It\u2019s just as good as the Leawo Video Converter introduced above, but specially  optimized for the Mac system. However, If you\u2019d rather use a program developed  by Apple itself, let me tell you that iTunes can also help you with converting  AIFF to MP3. <\/p>\n<p>As you may already know, iTunes is a media  center in Apple\u2019s eco-system. you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/how-to-transfer-music-from-itunes-to-usb-flash-drive-1361.html\">iTunes  to transfer media files<\/a>, play media content, buy digital products, as well  as convert AIFF to MP3. Also, if you are using a Mac computer, that means you  probably already have iTunes installed on your PC or laptop. So, by using  iTunes to convert AIFF to MP3, you can also save the trouble downloading  another program and installing it. <\/p>\n<p>To convert your AIFF, or any other  supported audio file to MP3, simply follow the instructions below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Lunch iTunes and log in your  iTunes account. Go to your media library and locate the audio file that you  want to convert to MP3. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Once you have located your AIFF  file, make sure that the file you want to convert to MP3 is selected and  highlighted. Click \u201cFile\u201d, and then find \u201cConvert\u201d. In the submenu, choose  \u201cCreate MP3 version\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Once you click the \u201cCreate MP3  Version\u201d, the conversion will be started immediately. You can monitor the  conversion progress from the progress par above. When the conversion is done,  you should be able to find both the AIFF audio file and the converted MP3 audio  file in your media library.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/AIFF-to-MP3-iTunes-12.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/AIFF-to-MP3-iTunes-12.png\" title=\"iTunes\" alt=\"iTunes\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AIFF is an audio file format.
