They are AIFC files - AIFF cannot legally contain either little endian or float data

Why is this a problem? - many Audio File apps won't read AIFC files, but will read AIFF - something we hope that has either now been addressed or is in process.

I would hope that the AudioFile changes in 10.2.3 would correctly describe these as AIFC files as little-endian based files

Hello,

I'm using audio converters and i stumble across a problem:
When trying to convert a CD Audio track it seems the mFormatID flag is not detected correctly...it says it's big endian whereas my memory and quicktime player says it's little endian. Could anyone confirm this? is it a known bug? I mean i tried with prestochango and PlayAudioFile and the result is the same...

any ideas?

CD Audio tracks are indeed AIFF files with a **little** endian encoding. I cannot tell you anything about the audio converter, did'nt used it yet. Do you have any problem while playing the file (if bytes are not swapped it gives a sound like a heavy white noise)?
