CAF (Core Audio Format) is an audio file format developed by Apple in 2005, and is supported by no matter Mac OS X 10.4 and higher, or iOS 5.0 and higher. This format is designed to overcome limitations of some older audio file formats, such as AIFF and WAV. CAF format uses 64-bit file offsets to break the 4GB file size limitation, so it can save hundreds of years of audio in one file. Besides, CAF supports compressed audio codec like AAC, MP3 and ALAC, so it uses less disk space than AIFF. What's more, CAF supports unlimited channels and metadata.

CAF has many advantages over AIFF and WAV, however, many other platforms like Windows, and many players and portable devices do not support CAF format. The following is an example:

I do counseling sessions from time to time and the files are saved in CAF. Now, I need to send them to a client who wants to listen to these CAF files on iTunes. So I have to convert CAF files to iTunes supported formats like MP3. It's quite difficult to me. Can anyone recommend an easy-to-use converter that allows me to convert CAF to MP3?

Obviously, the reason that people choose to convert CAF to MP3 is to play CAF files anywhere with ease.
