What is a .AOB file?

The file extension .AOB stands for DVD-Audio Audio Object File. This type of file is used to store audio data on DVD-Audio discs, which are a type of digital disc primarily designed for high-quality audio playback. The audio in an .AOB file is saved using an MPEG format, which is a standard way of compressing audio and video data. Additionally, .AOB files contain LPCM (Linear Pulse Code Modulation) data, a format used for representing analog signals in a digital form, often used because of its high audio quality.

.AOB files are typically found in the AUDIO_TS folder, which is located in the root directory of a DVD-Audio disc. This folder is specifically used for storing audio-related files on such discs.
