What is the .AOB file type?
The filename extension .aob belongs to the DVD-Audio Audio Object (AOB) file format and type. AOB is part of DVD-Audio, an international standard for multichannel digital audio on optical disks (DVD).
A DVD-Audio disk can hold several versions of the same audio tracks in different quality, usually a regular stereo track plus a 6-channel track, both at 96 kHz/24-bit. DVD-Audio disks are usually copy-protected with the CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media) system and digital watermarks.
The DVD-Audio directory structure is very similar to DVD-Video, and many commercial "hybrid" DVD-Audio disks have both audio and video sections. In DVD-Audio, all actual audio data is stored in .aob files in the "AUDIO_TS" directory.
An .aob file is a digital audio file on a DVD-Audio disk. It is an MPEG container with an uncompressed Linear PCM (LPCM) or an MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing)-compressed audio stream.
DVD-Audio disks (and .aob files extracted from them) can be played with most software/hardware media players, however playback at extreme sampling frequencies (e.g., 192 kHz/24-bit) requires special software and/or hardware setups.
