Understanding CAF and MP3 file formats

The CAF (Core Audio Format) is a container for storing audio data, developed by Apple. It is designed to overcome limitations of older digital audio formats, supporting a wide range of audio formats, metadata, and more. CAF files are commonly used in professional audio environments due to their ability to handle large file sizes and high-quality audio.

The MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III) format is a popular audio coding format for digital audio. It uses lossy data compression to reduce file size while maintaining a reasonable level of audio quality. MP3 files are widely used for music playback on digital audio players and streaming services due to their small size and compatibility with most devices.
