MKA (Matroska Audio) is the audio-only variant of the Matroska multimedia container format. It can encapsulate virtually any audio codec including FLAC, AAC, Vorbis, Opus, MP3, and DTS within a single flexible container. MKA supports multiple audio tracks, chapters, tags, and embedded artwork in an open-standard container.

Advantages

  • Supports virtually any audio codec within a single container format
  • Open-standard format with excellent metadata and chapter support
  • Can contain multiple audio tracks with different languages or codecs

Limitations

  • Limited support in many portable audio players and car stereos
  • Less widely recognized than direct codec file extensions like .mp3 or .flac
  • Some media players may not handle all codec combinations

Common Uses

  • Storing high-quality audio with multiple tracks or languages
  • Archiving audio content with rich metadata and chapters
  • Audio extraction from MKV video files

Target Format

AIFF Audio

audio/aiff

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is an uncompressed audio format developed by Apple, based on the IFF (Interchange File Format) structure. Like WAV, it stores raw PCM audio data at full quality, but uses big-endian byte ordering. AIFF is the standard uncompressed audio format in macOS and professional audio production on Apple platforms.

Advantages

  • Completely lossless with full PCM audio quality
  • Native support in macOS and all Apple audio software
  • Supports embedded metadata including loop points for music production

Limitations

  • Very large file sizes comparable to WAV
  • Less universal than WAV on non-Apple platforms
  • Not suitable for portable use or streaming due to file size

Common Uses

  • Professional audio production on macOS
  • Apple ecosystem audio recording and editing
  • Music production sample libraries and loop files
