Huh?

AIFF and WAV are basically the same thing. I don't know of any program that won't recognize either one....

iTunes will do it
set you import prefs to wav
select the aiff file
select convert selection to ____ (which will say wav based of your prefs)

Switch is my favorite program for this.  Freeware.

Heard about it... don't think it worked before w/ my
i bookG3(OSX10.3.9), but I'll check that out again. When I'm not batching files, I just use Peak for wav>aiff conversion and resampling.
