Core Audio Format files can contain various types of audio data including uncompressed audio as well as compressed audio using codecs like AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) or Apple Lossless.

    Key characteristics and features of .caf files include:

    1. High-Quality Audio: .caf files can store high-quality audio data making them suitable for professional audio applications.

This means CAF files can accommodate larger audio files without need for splitting them into multiple smaller files. Additionally they have flexibility to handle any number of audio channels making them suitable for audio recordings with multiple audio streams or complex channel configurations.
