File extension ape information
This file format, mainly used by Monkey Audio is an easy and fast way of compressing digital music files. Unlike other formats that tended to save space at the expense of space like mp3, APE not only retains the same quality as the original format but it also saves space. Another unique feature is the ability to decompress the files and return them back to the original formats from the APE format. This makes it possible to recreate music tracks back to their CD if they are lost or ruined.
