Description

Hello phanan,
first of all let me say thank you for this amazing project. I had been looking for a tool to make my DJ library streamable. I was astonished at what you created, koel solves (most of) my library problems. However there is one big caveat. Most of my files are in .AIFF as this is one of the few formats that can be used for DJing losless (i know there is .WAC and .FLAC but metadata/compatibility... see 38c3 Talk). Hence I would love to see AIFF capabilities implemented. I saw some indications for inofficial wav support. Maybe aiff is also possible. Thank you and cheers.

Since Koel uses getID3 under the hood, which supports AIFF, reading AIFF files shouldn't be a problem. However, from what I can see, AIFF isn't supported natively by any browser. This means you'd have to rely on FFMpeg transcoding anyway, which defeats the purpose (DJ'ing lossless). Am I missing anything?

@phanan commented on GitHub (Apr 19, 2025): Since Koel uses [getID3](https://www.getid3.org/) under the hood, which supports AIFF, reading AIFF files shouldn't be a problem. However, from what I can see, AIFF [isn't supported natively by any browser](https://caniuse.com/?search=aiff). This means you'd have to rely on [FFMpeg transcoding](https://docs.koel.dev/usage/streaming#flac-transcoding) anyway, which defeats the purpose (DJ'ing lossless). Am I missing anything?

Hey phanan,
for DJing I will need to download and put the songs on a USB stick. However I want to listen to those songs on mobile/stream them before. Transcoded listening is no issue as long as i can download them in the original AIFF format.
Cheers

I'll admit, I've never heard of this format before. However, it seems like a reasonable request, so I'm adding it as an experimental feature (see #1915).
