Is there a server application that converts aiff to mp3?

I'm developing an application for the iphone where it sends recorded files in aiff format to a server. The audio files need to be reproduced in the server with a flash player. Flash only can import audio files in mp3... so is there a server application that I can install that can do this automatically?

Also, I'm using a shared server so I can't install any application in the OS at script level.

Thanks, Gueri

Have you considered recording the files as mp3? I know it may sound obvious but what would be the reason to save aiff files on a server when we know that such files are too big for such use. Is the iphone handling the recording in your application? If yes, I'm pretty sure it can handle mp3 recording. You also save on upload time , not even mentioning avoiding the conversion process.

The native recording of the iphone is aiff... so either I convert the file in the iphone app or in the server. This is why I need the converter.

Then I would convert the file in the iphone before sending it to the server.

The iPhone SDK doesn't support mp3 encoding. I can encode it in aac but again, flash doesn't support aac neither. Is there another way to reproduce aac files in html or flash?

There are so many mp3 recording applications for the iphone out there, i would have thought it should have been possible... maybe you should ask a new question regarding iphone mp3 recording. it would make sense to let the iphone do the heavy lifting and upload smaller tracks to the server.
