[iTunes] Hi Fi quality

[S. Moussly]

Richard,

Are you using the tunes for music editing, DJing, or recreational
purposes? AIFF is better quality, but if I am not mistaken, converting a
tune MPEG to AIFF wont really change much from the sound
quality....again I could be wrong. All the tunes in my iTunes (around 20
GB) are in MP3 192bit rate and it doesn't sound too shabby. You can burn
your cds using iTunes or Roxio Toast (I prefer toast) if you want to
listen to it in the car. I recommend an iPod though ;)

I don't know if this is much help.

cheers

Sam

Subject: [iTunes] Hi Fi quality


Greetings to you all from Prague

I am a very recent convert to I-Tunes, and have never downloaded music
files. Mainly because we don't have broadband here yet; and I have just
joined the list. I would appreciate advice regarding the optimisation of
sound quality when burning CDs, and please assume and forgive my zero
technical understanding of the issues involved.

I'd be interested to hear from those who burn CD's to play on a decent
hi-fi
system. I have copied a load of my CD's in the MPEG format, and since
learnt
that AIFF format gives much better quality when burning to CD. I have
also
discovered that you can reconvert MPEG files to AIFF. So my question is,
in
terms of sound quality, if you convert a song from MPEG to AIFF, and
then
burn to a CD, will I get the same quality result as if I had stored the
song
in I-tunes initially as an AIFF file.?

Thanks in advance for any advice and sorry if my question sends lots of
eyebrows raising to heavens!

Richard Hunt
