I concur with firefly, who happens to have the very sound in his handle. In classical Latin, it is most definitely an "eye" sound. In Later Latin, esp. Medieval Latin, it became increasingly pronounced like the sound in "bait". It also began to be written not as "ae", but simply as "e".

It is pronounced "eye". Its common use is for the genitive case of feminine nouns.
