need .aif file help please
on: December 29, 2002, 09:42:58 pm
I've got a shed load of audio files in .aif format. The problem is I have no way to listen to them. Does anyone know of a program that can read them? A program that could convert them into .mp3 or .wav format would be better, but I'll gladly take any advice.

If they're old/gay enough to be in .aif format then they're not worth playing.

I mean, how many good tracks have you seen in recent years in even .wav format?

Well, if you managed to wither that hail of sarcasm and still want to convert the files, try GoldWave

DG, do you even know what sarcasm is?

Just asking, since my response was factual, and an-zero-n's was (as usual) outright insulting. I see no evidence of sarcasm.

It should but it doesn't. If it did then I wouldn't be asking for help ;)

You said you have "no way of listening to them"... not that the expected way isn't working.

So, what happens when you try to play them in WMP?

Have you tried WinAmp, or QuickTime?

In WMP I get a message that says: no combination of filters could be found to render the stream

In WinAmp I get: Compressed AIFC files other than 4-bit IMA ADPCM are not supported.

In QuickTime it doesn't even give me a message it just doesn't work.

Which version of WinAmp are you trying? 2.x or 3.x?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Shouldn't matter. IIRC 2 and 3 both use the same plugins.

Would you mind sending me one of these files?

And the last time you listened to them, how did you do it?

It can't read those files and I have no idea how to use that prog. If you feel like giving me a basic walk-through that'd be awsome.

*smacks forhead*

Right. Install Goldwave. Download an install the LameWin thingy, which can also be found on the GoldWave page (LameWin will let you encode MP3 files). Open your file in GoldWave. Save your file as an MP3. Offer me a cookie.


Course, I'm assuming GoldWave can read aifs, but I don't se why it shouldnt...

[EDIT] Oh, hold on, you say that GoldWave won't read aif files? Hmm... wanna send me one and see what happens? According to GoldWave, it can open them...

Ahh, found the problem. These are NOT standard AIFF files. They're proprietary-format Relic AIFFs.

Shame on you.

Anyway, to write anything out to a WAV file from Winamp, just change the Output plugin to the Nullsoft Disk Writer.

Think he can handle Winamp plugins?

Anyway Bri, if you do manage to get hold of the wav files, you can easily use GoldWave to convert them to MP3 :nod:


[EDIT] So what happens if you play a movie in WA3 with this plugin? Does the audio get saved as a wav?
