The lossy standard sustains and operates with outcome quality almost indistinguishable from the original audio composition. Therefore, such an advantage makes .AAC format quite optimal for compressing musical digital layers and data. Originally, the .AAC container logic was invented, opened up and deployed by NEC, Panasonic, Sony, Dolby, LG Electronics and Nokia joint corporate enterprise in 1997 as a mutual groundwork.

How to open an .AAC file?

📌 .AAC file format can be easily opened and played back by most audio players, available within the web space.

You are also able to apply adjustments to proper audio layers, timeline and effects by referencing a corresponding audio-editor, like Audacity or Adobe Audition. As long as .AAC file extension is frequently utilized for dedicated algorithm compression, the conclusive encoded files may be also saved with a source .M4A digital container. Therefore, the resulting quality of the obtained audio track is pretty high due to the application of lossy compression method referencing the file instance.
