Convert AIFF to TXT

Understanding AIFF and TXT file formats

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is an audio file format standard used for storing sound data. It was developed by Apple and is commonly used for high-quality audio files. AIFF files are uncompressed, which means they offer excellent sound quality but can be quite large in size.

TXT (Text File) is a standard text document format that contains plain text without any formatting. It is widely used for storing and sharing simple text data and can be opened with any text editor.

Why convert AIFF to TXT?

Converting an AIFF file to a TXT file is not a typical conversion since they serve different purposes. However, if you need to extract metadata or transcribe audio content from an AIFF file into a text format, this conversion might be necessary.
