Nero 8 - can't burn audio CD with AIFF files

[audiodrome]

I'm trying to burn an audio CD of AIFF files. I looked in my Common Files\Nero\AudioPlugins folder and I see that I have an AIFF codec but I keep getting a message that says,"It may be possible, that the files can be added, if a dedicated plug-in is installed."

I can easily solve the problem by using dBPowerAmp to convert AIFF to WAV, but I just want to know why, if I already have a Nero AIFF plugin, does it still not recognize the format?

I'm stumped...

I tried importing the AIFF files into Sonar and it didn't recognize them and I tried converting them to WAV using dBPowerAmp and all I got was digital garbage. Could these files be encoded in some special format that Nero and Sonar can't recognize?

That's odd. The AIFF files are playable, correct?

Yes, they play fine with Winamp and WMP but when I try to import them into my Nero audio compilation window it tells me I need a plugin, and I already have the Nero AIFF plugin!
