Title: List of supported file types - Is AIF audio file supported?
Post by: Kuiriel on May 08, 2026, 05:43:22 AM

I've discovered some AIF files I've had for ages are not playing.

I might have broken something, chosen the wrong plug-in etc - I just thought I'd ask, is there a list of supported file types so I can start by knowing whether the AIF audio file type is supported or not?

Else I can go batch convert etc etc.

Thank you kindly.

See Preferences -> Advanced -> Diagnostics -> File Associations tab shows what all of the input plug-ins are formally reporting as supporting (which can be saved to a file to make it easier to search for specific file types). AIF should be reported but it's not a file type I've got an obvious examples of so I just assume that if it's associated to an appropriate input plug-in (e.g. in_wave) it'll work.

Thank you.

Yeah, it's listed under
+- Waveform Decoder v1.8.11  [ in_wave.dll ]
   |-   (!) RAW        [ Headerless RAW Waveform ]
   |-   AIF           [ Apple Audio Interchange File ]
   |-   AIFF        [ Apple Audio Interchange File ]

Though these are my Homeworld music files from my box & CD - very, very old. Looks like it actually used the Relic AIF plugin, for files that should actually be AIFR. All the instructions and links are dead now, lol.

Looks like Homeworld Remastered has the audio less compressed and remastered, so I should go listen to that instead.
