I would think that would be good......at least then it's one conversion rather than a conversion of a conversion.
You can convert a .wav straight to AIFF in Metro (in LX?).....just drop it on the metro icon if its in the dock.......it will bring up a dialog box and you tell it you want the 44.1x16 and can choose mono or stereo. It may pay to drop on one at a time so you can name it something you recoginise - name of singer or something. If you drop 2 at once, the second one suggests saving it with the same name (least it did here).
Before Metro got the extra ability to save off mp3 (listed as a sticky at the top of the audio section) I used to trust Quicktime Player with my conversions and never had a problem. The info window was always a great source of format - khz and bitrate.
Some reason itunes ability to either import mp3 or aiff and having it hide in the prefs always seemed a little odd to me..........like it was doing it for me and I didn't have a say. I only use itunes to dump to the ipod and thats on a PC
