Once you have it in Itunes in one format, like ALAC, you can export album to another format like ACC. It will perform conversion for you. Once you set export format in options it might be even possible to do this by dragging album icon to desired directory, but I'm not sure. I use 256kbps for headphones. Same for car because I reuse the same files.
AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping
I have a large music collection that I have ripped using Apple Lossless and error correction turned on. I have recently seen several postings saying that AIFF (with error correction turned on)is the way to go. Would anyone care to address the superiority of AIFF vs Lossless, and if possible, explain why one would potentially be better than the other? And, if AIFF results in a larger file, approximately how much larger (percentage). I'm trying to decide if it's worthwhile to re-rip a 1400 cd collection.

The best for you, IMHO, would be laptop with asynchronous USB D/A converter. Do some research. One inexpensive example might be Oppo HA-2 asynch USB headphone amp with line out, based on ESS Sabre 32-bit (wonderful sound), but you might like something less portable or better, if you're willing to spend more money (Oppo HA-2 is $300). Connectors on the Oppo are 1/8" https://www.oppodigital.com/headphone-amplifier-ha-2/ |
