Possible to convert Apple Lossless to WAV.?

It's certainly possible to convert Apple Lossless files to WAV within iTunes but how many CDs do you plan to convert and where is the point that it is reported iTunes becomes a problem? I have about 400 CDs in iTunes so far without a hint of any problems.

Yes, you can do that, but I don't think you can do it with iTunes. You'll need a recording application like Amadeus Pro or similar. To do it with Amadeus, open the file from within the application, then save it in one of a list of supported formats, which includes WAV.

It's very simple in iTunes. Open 'Preferences,' click on the 'Advanced' tab, then on the 'Importing' tab and choose WAV as the format. Close the Preferences window, select as many songs as you want to convert and choose 'Convert to WAV' from the Advanced menu.

Having said that, I think you might want to do more research on the disadvantages of WAV files compared to Apple Lossless before you go down that path.

I second Sfar' suggestion; you can also control-click a song and the "Convert to ..." option will be one of your choices.

What exactly is the problem using iTunes for large libraries? And why would you want to convert everything to WAV? We've had endless WAV vs FLAC/Apple lossless discussions before, and I'm still clearly in the FLAC/Apple lossless camp. If you think that Apple lossless has problems with album art, just wait until you see the problems you'll have with WAV.

If it were me, I'd stick with iTunes and Apple lossless. You're using an uncompressed format with advanced tagging support and software that is widely used and available on both macs and PC's.
