Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) is an uncompressed audio file format similar to Microsoft's WAV and Creative Labs' VOC. It was developed by Apple who used Electronic Arts' IFF format as a starting point. The format is primarily used by Macintosh games. AIFF files with an "AIFC" extension use lossless compression.

The VGMPF will not store the ripped soundtrack of games that use AIFF because the ratio is 1-to-1 (and because they take up too much space). The Vorbis recording will sound nearly identical, so the AIFF format is not needed.
