AIFF support

Does MediaMonkey support playing AIFF files? (as best I can tell, the answer is no).
If not, what would the experts recommend as a way to convert AIFF to FLAC or WAV or (other lossless format) supported by MM, trying to maintain art work, tags, etc (as much as possible)..
Thanks

No, it doesn't support AIFF files.
You could look for a Winamp 2 AIFF plugin, but that would allow MM only to play the tracks, and not to read metadata from the tracks.

One could then auto tag and have the info in the MM database to review, though??

Yes, but in the database only. MM couldn't tag the tracks without adding direct support for that file type.

So far as I can tell it's because:
1. There is no clear tagging standard for this format
2. There is no "de-facto" or popular tagging standard for this format
3. The format is quite unpopular compared to other, more superior formats (FLAC, WAV)
