[OT] AIFC Support dropped..?

[H. Peet Foster]

Has anybody else on the list noticed that both QuickTime 6.3 and iTunes 
4.0.1 no longer handle/play AIFC audio files?  I would like to get a 
general confirmation of this from the listies before proceeding to 
contact Apple or re-encoding a bunch of audio files, all legal, from my 
store bought CDs.

With iTunes, nothing happens and with QuickTime (pro), I get one of two 
alert messages.  Either "Quicktime is missing software required to 
display this movie file.  Unfortunately, it is not available on the 
QuickTime server." or  "Couldn't open the file "xxx"because an 
unsupported sound format was encountered".

Memory 1024
500MHZ Power PC G4  tibook
OSX 10.2.6
QuickTime 6.3
iTunes 4.0.1

Thanks for your help.
