I thought that JRiver, which I've been on since MC17 in Win & Mac was my salvation after iTunes & PureMusic. How wrong could I have been? Grrr. Here's 10 random selections of .aiff from different albums.

I was wrong, now I look I have a host of .flac issues but NONE of them are 'unexpected end of file...' issues, they relate to TYER, playlist & ALBUMARTIST etc etc. 3000-odd error & warning messages is quite a shock.
Can anyone tell me, is it quicker to convert .aiff to .aiff than .aiff to flac? I tried a couple of albums to .flac and it was slow on dBpoweramp on Win8 but I was doing over the network on the NAS. Having been burned with this Jriver/.aiff, I feel like standardising on .flac. I guess it's quicker if the file is local (on a HDD). The quickest converter is? I have both Win & Mac decent spec machines.
Thanks
Martin
From these messages, it looks like the problem is caused by the JRiver .aiff bug.
I can't say which converter is the quickest but I know dBpoweramp is quick.
