How to Change AIFF to WAV

Editing music in AIFF and WAV formats can produce an ideal, relatively untouched sound quality for your audio projects. While both WAV and AIFF file formats support uncompressed audio, they are not always compatible with the same software. You can change an AIFF file to WAV if your audio utility requires the latter as a compatible format. Use an AIFF and WAV-compatible digital audio conversion utility to facilitate the change.
