The list of audio file formats that Ardour can understand is quite long.
|
|
Most formats are supported based on the functionality offered
|
|
by <dfn>libsndfile</dfn>, an excellent and widely used software library
|
|
by Australian programmer Erik de Castro Lopo.

A full list of libsndfile's supported formats is available on the
|
|
<a href="http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/#Features">libsndfile website</a>.

In addition, Ardour also supports MP3 lossy compression format
|
|
files. We do not recommend importing these for any serious work, but
|
|
the option is available if you are forced to use such files.
|
|
<p>
|
|
For MIDI import, Ardour will read any Standard MIDI Format (SMF) file.
