Description

APE stands for Monkey's Audio, a lossless audio compression format that preserves the original sound quality while reducing file size. It is commonly used by audiophiles who want to store music without any loss in fidelity compared to formats like MP3. The format was created in 2000 and is known for its efficient compression ratios.

Technical Details

APE files use lossless compression algorithms to reduce file size without sacrificing audio quality. The compression ratio typically ranges from 30% to 60%, depending on the complexity of the audio content. The format supports metadata tags and can store high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192kHz, making it suitable for professional use.

Additional Information & Use Cases

APE files are often used for archiving music collections because they retain exact copies of the original audio. However, they may not be as widely supported as other formats, requiring specific media players or codecs for playback. Interestingly, Monkey's Audio uses a combination of predictive coding and entropy coding to achieve its compression.
