[X4U] The Best Way To Import CD Audio

[John Richardson]

Hello,

I was under the impression that CD's were 44Khz. So, that means that most of
the music you would want to burn would have quality limited by the existing
format.

Sort of like NTSC video being recorded onto an HDTV recorder.. You can't
recover quality that is not there physically, regardless of file format.

Correct me if I'm wrong. This seems to imply that there is no purpose in
special techniques for the general user. Ease of import is another issue of
course.

I'm curious what is the best way to import CD audio as .aiff files from a
store-bought CD? The only concern here is the finest audio quality to be
stored as .aiff...

1 -  in OSX you can simply drag the file -  from the CD to the hard drive
2 -  iTunes can import as AIFF files
3 -  other programs that can import - DP - LOGIC TOAST etc...?

BTW: does any version of QuickTime sound any better than any other regarding
this?

Notes:  several years ago - I imported audio using an extra application that
came with toast ( I think was called something like audio extractor) - the
1.0 version had a weird bug that caused clicks and pops - and the 1.1
version supposedly fixed that...

-  any way - that's why I am asking now... If one sonically sounds any
better than another one - or has any associated problems...
