- 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.
- An MP3 file is an audio file saved in a compressed audio format developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) that uses "Layer 3" audio compression. It is commonly used to store music and audiobooks with near-CD quality sound (stereo, 16-bit) and roughly 1/10 the size of a .WAV or .AIF file.
