I use the iTunes-LAME audio encoder with a setting of --alt-preset standard. It does a fine job for my ears. http://blacktree.com/apps/iTunes-LAME/

AAC, 192 kbps, auto, auto, VBR

or

Apple Lossless

Is AAC better than AIFF for eventually sending them to an iPod?


Re: What settings do you use to import from CD to iTunes? - jdc - 02-06-2007

AIFF is for home and car CD players and is the original format the music comes in

60+ megs per song...

AAC 192kbps for general use/iPod, MP3-LAME 192 or higher for other MP3-players.

I'm a little mystified as to why you don't simply encode a sample song at several different settings and decide for yourself ...

I used a friends iMac to load some CDs for another friends iPod. I think I switched from AAC to AIFF. Should I call her and tell her to switch back?
