Possible to convert Apple Lossless to 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.

Right. I think you'll lose any album art you have if you convert to WAV. I also think you have bad information about the limitations of iTunes, but regardless, you should be able to find an alternative piece of software that will run on the Mac and will accommodate your library of ALC files. There's tons of stuff out there, more every week. And you can reasonably expect iTunes to evolve to better meet the needs of peoples' growing music libraries.

I have over 4000 CDs ripped via apple lossless and have had no problems at all.

i also have over 1000+ cd's ripped via apple lossless with no problems.
