[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1239626"] Just to clear up a point of confusion that came up in this discussion ... let's not confuse AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) and Apple Lossless. They are two entirely different formats. AIFF is uncompressed and not lossy, but the files are huge. MP3 and MP4/AAC create dramatically smaller files, but are lossy. Apple Lossless was created as a half-step. It is not lossy, but creates files about half the size of AIFF -- still a lot bigger than MP3/AAC, but 50% of the size of WAV or AIFF. Being based on the MP4 standard, Apple Lossless files support tagging. [/QUOTE]
