Hi Gary itunes files are m4a files - not sure what is at the root of that. I'm sure you're right - to convert them to mp3 must involve some loss. I really was asking if the highest setting 320 is 'perfect' as Sound Taxi says, or if I could maintain the original quality by converting the itunes file to wav.
