APE is the file format for lossless audio data compression, that is to say, a digital recording encoded to the APE format can be decompressed into an identical copy of the original audio data. But APE adopts a symmetric algorithm, which means the decoding takes comparable resources to encoding, so it has limited support on software platforms.
You can not import APE to iTunes directly, and it is not a compatible audio format for iTunes.
However, AAC is the default or standard audio format for iTunes, and it is the file format for lossy audio data compression, so when it compresses CD-quality audio files into smaller files, some data that not impact the listening experience of the file is removed, that is, AAC format can not be decompressed into an identical copy of the original data., so you can convert APE to AAC for iTunes firstly.
