[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 1583062, member: 11094"] iTunes has import settings that can create AAC, AIFF, WAV, MP3 and Apple Lossless files. AIFF and WAV files are uncompressed and significantly larger than MP3 and AAC which are compressed. Since there is compression there is generational loss. Apple Lossless is a compromise of larger file size than AAC but no generational loss. Encoding technology has gotten better over the years but there is a real difference with highs and lows in compressed audio. However if you are listening to high quality audio files through regular old speakers you won't be able to appreciate the difference. [/QUOTE]
