Steve, thanks for helping out. I haven't run the test that Paulofbrecht did but I'll certainly try it too. I'm afraid I'll have the same result. Oh, boy, and I've ripped thousands of CD's in Itunes with error correction on. But my goal is still to end up with AIFF so I can share music with my kids (who use Macs), but I want to keep all the tags, track names, etc. that Itunes provides. If on a PC, I use dppoweramp and rip to WAV (is that the right format to go to?: 1) will the tracks and tags come over, and 2) can I then convert WAV to AIFF and bring those converted AIFF into Itunes, but preserving the tag, track info? Thanks again for all of us. Laurence
Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF?
I'm ripping a lot of of CD's and putting them on a network server so I can access them from any computer/stereo system in my house. Does any one know of any blinded listening studies where they compared Itunes-ripped wave files (AIFF) to AIFF ripped by another program? If no studies, is there any technical reason (and I'm no computer expert) that an Itunes ripped AIFF might be inferior to an AIFF file ripped by another program?
