Convert MP2 to AIFF — Free Online Converter

Converting MP2 to AIFF decodes broadcast-standard MPEG Audio Layer 2 and stores the resulting PCM in Apple's uncompressed format. MP2's typical broadcast quality (192-384 kbps at 48 kHz) decodes to high-quality PCM that AIFF preserves without any additional degradation.

This conversion is standard in broadcast post-production — extracting MP2 audio from DVB transport streams or DAB recordings into AIFF for editing in professional DAWs on macOS. AIFF's uncompressed format provides the optimal editing environment for broadcast audio processing.

Broadcast post-production on Apple systems uses AIFF as the standard editing format. Extracting MP2 audio from broadcast streams into AIFF enables editing in Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and Final Cut Pro without the overhead of real-time MP2 decoding during timeline scrubbing.

AIFF also serves as an archival decode format for broadcast MP2 content. Institutions that archive broadcast audio may decode MP2 to AIFF for long-term preservation, ensuring the decoded audio is accessible without MP2 decoding infrastructure.
