Understanding MP4 and APE file formats

The MP4 file format, also known as MPEG-4 Part 14, is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio. It is a highly versatile format that supports streaming over the internet and is widely used due to its ability to compress files without significant loss of quality.

On the other hand, the APE file format, also known as Monkey's Audio, is a lossless audio compression format. It is designed to reduce the size of audio files without any loss of quality, making it ideal for audiophiles who want to preserve the original sound quality of their music.
