CNET Editors' review
AIFF MP3 Converter provides an exciting number of file conversion options for such a simple program. It can convert practically any audio or video file type in a hurry.
The program's interface was sparse but surprisingly perfect for its functions. We were able to quickly master its few commands and options in order to convert files. After reading the product description, we assumed this program only converted AIFF files, but we were pleased to discover we could convert just about any audio or video file. We simply added files to our queue and chose a file type to convert them to. The list of choices was surprisingly long; 11 formats ranging from common MP3 and WMV types to less common formats like AMR and AWB files. The program converted our 6-minute song in a little under a minute, and the result retained all the original's elements. One note, however: we could only convert video files into audio files, not other video formats. The program provides a surprising amount of flexibility with its extra features, such as the ability to adjust each file type for size, speed, and quality; this is a helpful way to save space on a hard drive or a personal audio player.
AIFF MP3 Converter only converts 60 percent of a file during its trial. We were able to easily change file types for audio and video files with this helpful tool. Its simple layout and excellent conversions make this a program that we recommend.
Publisher's Description
From Hoo Technologies:
AIFF MP3 Converter converts AIFF to MP3 and MP3 to AIFF. AIFF files generally end with a .AIF, .AIFF, .AIFC, or .AFC extension. The converter focuses on AIFF file that supports almost all codecs in AIFF specification, for example, a-Law, mu-Law, IEEE 754 float, IMA4, GSM, GWVW, and so on. And The converter reads ID3 tag in AIFF file and transfers to output file when converting.
You can change encoding parameters of target files such as sample frequency, bit rate, channels, and quality. So it's possible to convert a large-size file to a smaller one. And, the software adds or keeps ID3 tag when converting. The software supports to increase and decrease volume as well. You can also join multiple AIFF files to one big AIFF with the converter.

"Makes changes to browsers changes default settings"
Version: AIFF MP3 Converter 3.3 build 1049
Pros
Seems to work for AIFF to MP3 conversions - but see CONs below.
Cons
The day after I installed this, I discovered that the default search engine in all 3 of my browsers had been changed from Google to something I had never heard of. In addition, a mystery toolbar had been added to my browser.
Summary
CNET, you should have a policy that disallows such sneaky software on your site.
