Is missing aif
ETA: it looks for the file metadata, not sure if it use file extension name ?
Look carefully; there is no mention of either .aiff or .aif extensions in this module. It recognizes MIME types audio/aiff and audio/x-aiff. That's where the mapping table comes into play.
But I'm not going any farther with this so have away at it.

Cheers Kent, I looked at the ffmpeg source and .aif .aiff and .aifc were all in the mapping.
Like you I have no aiff files, over to someone who can investigate further.

If the file extension is not included in those being searched for, the metadata is somrehing we can only dream of... ;-)

I went your way. Red wine is never a mistake.
RE: MPD not recognizing the .aif file extension - Tim Curtis - 05-19-2025
If there is no smoking gun in the code maybe someone could create a failure repro with MPD compiled from sources on PiOS Bookworm and a couple of AIFF tracks (I can provide those if needed).
The repro would show that .aif is not recognized by MPD (not added to DB) but a rename to .aiff and the tracks are recognized (successfully added to MPD DB).
ETA: And then post an issue to MPD repo.
RE: MPD not recognizing the .aif file extension - Tim Curtis - 05-22-2025
Actually, there is already an issue in the MPD repo referencing files being excluded because ffmpeg is queried at runtime for its list of supported codecs. https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/2268
Maybe someone can volunteer to post to this issue and mention that .aif files are also being excluded.

No volunteers?

I was hoping someone else would raise their hand.
I first want to try building and enabling MPD’s sndfile decoder plugin to see how well moOde performs with it. I’m sure it will be brought up.

You could try that but I don't think its necessary since the trouble report https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/2268 addresses the exact issue of specific file types being excluded because of the new "at runtime" query of ffmpeg.
I would just mention that .aif is also being excluded.

@Tim Curtis
Not my finest effort but check out issue #2313.
