Is there a reason JR doesn't support AIF files? FFmpeg and SOX both support it.

There are hundreds of formats that FFMPeg supports that Jamroom doesn't. We don't support AIF since in 11+ years we've never once had a request to support it. The only place I'm aware of that AIF is used is on Mac's as a base format for some DAW software (i.e. Logic), so it's not something "normal" users would run into.

Is there a simple way to add it? I've been doing some alpha testing with a number of producers (who happen to to use DAWs and are mostly on Mac. As a result, many have aif files (about evenly split with WAV

You can create a new plugin for it in the jrAudio/plugin directory - model it on the wav.php file - should be super easy. I can add support for it in here as well.

That would simplify things. One thing that we did custom was to do some ADDITIONAL conversions on upload so if a user provides us with WAV or FLAC, we end up with three formats: wav, flac, and 320 mp3. Then at the time of download, the end user can choose which format they want the files in.
