When I use Windows Media Player to burn CDs, it appears to rip an AIFF version, which then gets burned to the CD-R.
I used iTunes for the for the first time to burn a CD. It seems that iTunes rips a AAC version, then converts it back to AIFF when burning the CD-R. Since AAC is lossy, going from AIFF to AAC back to AIFF produces a lower quality AIFF, is that correct?
Honestly, when I played that CD in my car, I couldn't tell any difference in sound quality from CDs I ripped in Windows Media Player. Is ripping an AIFF the best option, or is that being too picky? Is there another program you'd recommend using other than iTunes?
Thanks!
