All traditional AIFF and AIFF-C files continue to work normally on Mac OS X ( including on the new Intel-based hardware ), and many third-party audio applications as well as hardware continue to use the standard AIFF big-endian byte order.

( The specification for AIFF, the big-endian analogue of RIFF, was published by Apple Computer in 1988.

The AIFF format is based on the Interchange File Format ( IFF ).

Apple Computer's AIFF is a big endian audio file format developed from IFF.

This IFF was adopted by a number of developers including Apple for AIFF files and Microsoft for RIFF files ( which were used as the basis for the AVI and WAV file format ).

* AIFF ( IFF file format, widely used on Mac OS platform )

Standard AIFF is a leading format ( along with SDII and WAV ) used by professional-level audio and video applications, and unlike the better-known lossy MP3 format, it is non-compressed ( which aids rapid streaming of multiple audio files from disk to the application ), and lossless.

When a file is imported to or exported from iTunes in " AIFF " format, it is actually AIFF-C / sowt that is being used.

The video project is typically sent from Final Cut Pro to Compressor, where it can be converted into the DVD MPEG-2 format with Dolby Digital ( ac3 ) or AIFF sound.

At this conference it was agreed to liquidate the All India Football Association and instead to form an All India Football Federation ( AIFF ) with one representative from each affiliated association and two each from IFA and ASCB.

Absynth relies on user-based waveforms ; either drawn directly, by manipulation of a sound spectrum, or else extracted from a WAV or AIFF file.

* AIFF – standard audio file format used by Apple.

With the development of the Mac OS X operating system, Apple created a new type of AIFF which is, in effect, an alternative little-endian byte order format.

Because the AIFF architecture has no provision for alternative byte order, Apple used the existing AIFF-C compression architecture, and created a " pseudo-compressed " codec called sowt ( twos spelled backwards ).

Apple uses this new little-endian AIFF type as its standard on Mac OS X.

In all cases, Apple refers to the files simply as " AIFF ", and uses the ". aiff " extension.

Apple has also created another recent extension to the AIFF format in the form of Apple Loops used by GarageBand and Logic Audio, which allows the inclusion of data for pitch and tempo shifting by an application in the more common variety, and MIDI-sequence data and references to GarageBand playback instruments in another variety.

The iPod line can play several audio file formats including MP3, AAC / M4A, Protected AAC, AIFF, WAV, Audible audiobook, and Apple Lossless.

When re-ripping such a CD one could use a lossless audio codec such as AIFF, Apple Lossless, FLAC or WAV however such files take up significantly more space than the original. mp4 files.

Due to the codec not being ported, it is incapable of playing Apple Lossless and AIFF audio files.

Like the previous generation it supports MP3, VBR, AAC, Protected AAC, Audible ( formats 2, 3 and 4 ), WAV, AIFF and Apple Lossless, and the battery lasts for 15 hours of music.

This is followed by a 32-bit unsigned integer ( all integers in IFF files ' structure are big-endian ) specifying the size of the following data ( the chunk content ) in bytes.

It is based on Electronic Arts ' Interchange File Format, introduced in 1985 on the Amiga 1000, the only difference being that multi-byte integers are in little-endian format, native to the 80x86 processor series used in IBM PCs, rather than the big-endian format native to the 68k processor series used in Amiga and Apple Macintosh computers, where IFF files were heavily used.

SBus is based on a big-endian 32-bit address and data bus, can run at speeds ranging from 16. 67 MHz to 25 MHz, and is capable of transferring up to 100 MB / s.

* RIFF ( a little-endian derivative of IFF, originally from Microsoft )

Before the Red Beard codename was issued in 1952, it was frequently referred to in official documents as the " Javelin Bomb ", because it was originally conceived as a weapon for the " thin-wing Javelin bomber ", a projected derivative of the ( thick wing ) Gloster Javelin all-weather fighter.

Some of the first computer music was created in 1961 by LaFarr Stuart, who wrote software to modulate the duration of and between pulses ( pulse-width modulation or " PWM ", via a process now often referred to as " bit-banging ") on a bus line that had been connected to an amplified speaker originally installed to monitor the functioning of Iowa State University's CYCLONE computer, a derivative of the Illiac.

It is even less obvious that bless is related to blood ( the former was originally a derivative with the meaning " to mark with blood ").

The Sanskrit deva-derives from Indo-Iranian * dev-which in turn descends from the Proto-Indo-European ( PIE ) word, * deiwos, originally an adjective meaning " celestial " or " shining ", which is a PIE ( not synchronic Sanskrit ) vrddhi derivative from the root * diw meaning " to shine ", especially as the day-lit sky.

Borrowing from technologies pioneered in the US and Australian markets ( where strict emissions regulations meant the inclusion of high compression carburetted engines was not feasible ) the new derivative was originally only available in the Vitesse model, but from 1984 onwards it was also offered in the luxury Vanden Plas range, badged as the Vanden Plas EFi.

It was originally described as " non-dairy " as it contained no cream or milk and no lactose ; however, it did contain the milk derivative casein.

Arab qahwah, in Turkish pronounced kahveh, the name of the infusion or beverage ; said by Arab lexicographers to have originally meant ‘ wine ’ or some kind of wine, and to be a derivative of a verb-root qahiya ‘ to have no appetite .’ Some have conjectured that it is a foreign, perhaps African, word disguised, and have thought it connected with the name of Kaffa in the south Abyssinian highlands, where the plant appears to be native.
