Could someone provide any logical reasons why one would use AIFF over 
WAV as the digital master preservation file format? (leaving compressed 
variants of AIFF off the table for this discussion). I have a client 
that has asked for AIFF format masters instead of WAV. I'm not sure if 
this is actually best for them but I don't digitize to AIFF format files 
- I have always digitized to WAV format.

Since AIFF format was developed by Apple a while back - is it still 
considered a proprietary format?

What happens if you capture to WAV then save the file off as AIFF or the 
opposite, is there anything lost or changed in the audio file or with 
the attached metadata?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts/input.

Regards,

John Schroth
