What is WAV?
WAV (or WAVE), short for Waveform audio format, is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing an audio bitstream on PCs. Though a WAV file can hold compressed audio (alaw, ulaw, ima adpcm, creative adpcm, microsoft adpcm, mp3 codec etc), the most common WAV format contains uncompressed audio in the linear pulse code modulation (LPCM) format. The standard audio file format for CDs, for example, is LPCM-encoded, containing two channels of 44,100 samples per second, 16 bits per sample.

What is AIFF?
The sound format developed by apple for use in mac operating system is AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format). AIFF contains information about the number of channels (mono or stereo), bits per sample depth (the more bits used, the more accurate the resulting output will be) and sample rate (the number of samples of a sound per second).
