Actually your CD player does recognize AIFF files. That is the native format for audio CDs. AIFF is (I thinik) the Audio Intercgange File Format. Audio CD tracks are uncomressed, 16bit x 44.1kHz stereo AIFFs.
Don't let any of your PC geek freinds tell you CD files are WAVs. The .wav file on a PeeCee is a container (just like QuickTime). A .wav file can contain data in one of several different audio codecs.
