> AAC lossless AAC isn't a lossless format. Apple lossless is, of course - both aac (as used by iTunes for e.g. downloads from iTunes Music Store) and apple lossless files end in a .m4a extension.
> What I've noticed is that the result is a lot quieter. If you're ripping to aac in iTunes, you may have SoundCheck (iTunes' volume levelling) enabled in iTunes, and if you've set Squeezebox Server to use gain tags, that would explain why they're quieter. I'm sure the two formats will have different dynamic ranges, but not to the extent you're describing. If I were you, and you're planning to use both WMP and iTunes, I'd rip all of your discs to WMA Pro (a Lossless format) and create an mp3 copy for your iPod. I've found it easiest to have my Squeezebox library in lossless format (in my case Apple Lossless as I use AppleTV too) and a copy of the bits I want on my iPod as 160kbps mp3. -- moley6knipe WinXP Pro SP3 > dBpoweramp Reference 13.3 > SqueezeCenter 7.3.4 - 28402 > Squeezebox 3 > ears ------------------------------------------------------------------------ moley6knipe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10014 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73703 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
