    About AIFF and M4R

    AIFF: AIFF is Apple's uncompressed audio format — the Mac equivalent of WAV. It is used in GarageBand, Logic Pro and professional audio workflows.

    M4R: M4R is the iPhone ringtone format. It is an AAC audio file (the same as M4A) with a different extension, and iOS only accepts ringtones up to 30–40 seconds long.
