What are the steps to convert AIFF to AU online?

1. Upload your AIFF audio file to the converter. 2. Select AU (Sun Audio) as the target format. 3. Choose a codec such as linear PCM for lossless output or u-law for smaller size. 4. Click 'Convert' and wait a few seconds. 5. Download the AU file to your device.

Why convert from AIFF to AU instead of keeping AIFF?

AU is the native audio format for Sun Microsystems, and it's supported on Unix/Linux and Java's AudioSystem. If you're developing for these platforms, converting AIFF to AU ensures seamless playback. AU with u-law encoding can also reduce file size, though at a cost of audio fidelity.

Does converting AIFF to AU affect audio quality or metadata?

When using linear PCM encoding, AU preserves the original sample rate and bit depth exactly, so no quality is lost. However, AU has no standard metadata facility, so ID3 tags, artist/album info, and other AIFF chunks are discarded. If you select u-law encoding, the audio is companded to 8-bit mu-law, which reduces dynamic range and is lossy.
