- Description
- Created by Matthew T. Ashland for Windows OS, APE format is an audio file that stores sound without any data loss. It is less popular due to the paid license restrictions.
- Compressed audio file similar to an .MP3 file, but offers several performance improvements; examples include a higher coding efficiency for both stationary and transient signals, a simpler filterbank, and better handling of frequencies above 16 kHz; maintains quality nearly indistinguishable from the original audio source.
