Developer: Apple
File type: Interchange File
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .aifc. Files with the file extension .aifc can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .aifc files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .aifc file?

The AIFC file extension is a data format for Audio Interchange File Format. AIFC is known as Compressed Audio Interchange File. AIFC files were based on IFF format and were developed by Apple Inc. These compressed audio files are basically AIF files in compressed format. They contain CD-quality audio with reduced file size that incorporated ULAW, ALAW, or G722 compression. They are also referred to as an AIFF-C file with compress ratios as high as 6:1. They contain IFF chunks, each chunk consisting of a chunk identifier, chunk length and chunk data. They specify a compression type in the COMM chunk and the compression type is "NONE" for PCM data. The compression type is accompanied by a printable name, compression type ID and a compression type name. Files in AIFC format can be opened with Apple iTunes, Apple QuickTime Player, and Adobe Audition CS6 in Mac operating systems and Microsoft Windows-based systems.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .aifc. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
