AIFF and FLAC use very different tagging formats. In my experience, the Vorbis comments used in FLAC give less trouble than the ID3 tags in AIFF.

Sometimes simply opening a problem file in a good tag editor, such as MP3Tag, and then re-saving the tags, can fix compatibility problems. It might be worth doing a simple experiment along those lines.

I am familiar with tag formats. I tried that, of course, using Metadactics, XLD and even Tag. The files report as being healthy in Sample Manger and they playback in other media players.

I've just decided that AIFF is too hard to support and that FLAC will just work everywhere.

I've convinced myself that there will be no audible difference on my renderer - during playback of even high-res FLAC files, there is negligible CPU utilization and I think it might be preferable to save 1/2 of the data being dragged over the wireless network, as opposed to shaving a percentage or two of CPU utilization.

Converting my library now... hopefully will be finished by morning :-)
