APE is a lossless compressed audio format. Huge WAV audio files can be "slimmed down" by the monkey's audio and compressed into APE. Similarly, APE can also be restored to WAV through monkey's audio, and then burned to CD. Sometimes it is used for network audio file transmission, because the compressed APE file capacity is less than half of the WAV source file, which can save transmission time. More importantly, the WAV file obtained after decompression and restoration of monkey's audio can be exactly the same as the source file before compression. Therefore, APE is called "lossless audio compression format" and Monkey's audio is called "lossless audio compression software". Unlike using professional data compression software such as WinZip or WinRAR to compress audio files, compressed APE audio files can be played directly.
