<p>
The list of audio file formats that Ardour can understand is quite long.
It is based on the functionality offered by <dfn>libsndfile</dfn>, an excellent and
widely used software library by Australian programmer Erik de Castro Lopo.
As libsndfile's capabilities expand, so will Ardour's abilities to import
(and export) new formats. Ardour supports all common audio file formats,
including WAV, AIFF, AIFC, CAF, W64 and BWF, with all typical sample formats
(8-, 16-, 24-, 32-bit integer, floating point, and more).

For MIDI import, Ardour will read any Standard MIDI Format (SMF) file.
