Any lossless format can be converted to any other format (lossless or otherwise) at a later date.
IMO the other importance thing is to use a ripping program which will give you bit perfect copies, or let you know if not - and that's where I would have a doubt over iTunes. The third important thing is to keep your files in separate directories for each disk or album, and organise them is a consistent way - /Artist/Album/Tracks is a common one. You should also ensure that each 'rip' is tagged with at least the Artist, Album and track numbers and names. It's relatively easy to add and edit tags at a later date, but the more you get right to start with the easier it is, and you need to make sure you know at least what everything is and what it goes with! -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33955 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
