How to Convert iTunes/Apple Music Library to AIFF

"How do I create an AIFF version in Apple Music/iTunes?"

AIFF is a file format developed by Apple Inc. to store audio information. Unlike the MP3 audio format, AIFF files are uncompressed. This means that they don't lose any quality, just pure sound quality. Today, MP3, WAV, AIFF, and other formats can all record and play on any operating system, so they're easily interchangeable.

If you have the same questions about how to convert music files in Apple Music/iTunes to AIFF or how to save Apple Music/iTunes tracks to lossless AIFF permanently, this article can give you the perfect answer. Next, this article will detail two different quick solutions to help you complete the conversion efficiently and without loss.

Solution 1: Convert Music Files to AIFF in iTunes

iTunes can convert songs from your Library into different file formats (like AIFF or WAV, MP3, AAC) and keep a copy of the original song. Here are the steps to convert a song to AIFF in Tunes.

• Step 1. Open iTunes/Music App.
• Step 2. Select Edit (Select Music if you are using Mac ) > Preferences.
• Step 3. Come to the General section (Come to Files section on Mac) > choose Import Settings.
  
• Step 4. Import Settings > AIFF Encoder > Click OK.
• Step 5. Choose the song you want to convert > Select File > Convert > Create AIFF Version.
