AIFF is comparable to WAV, but like WAV, it is uncompressed. So they would be huge audio files. Apple Lossless is exactly what it says - like FLAC, it is a lossless compression codec. Files will be (like FLAC) very large, but around half the size of an AIFF or WAV file and the same sound quality. AAC can sound better than MP3 at certain settings, but I recommend using MP3 at highest quality. There's a little app out there somewhere that will put the option of LAME encoding into iTunes, I'd go for that. forel elitist fuck On Mar 24, 2005, at 7:33 AM, Doopeyduk@aol.com wrote:
