[DM-MUG] importing CDs using AAC or AppleLossless?

[Bill Davis]

If you mean the CDs are MP3 CDs, then just drag the MP3 files on the CD 
*into* iTunes.  No ripping required.   Converting to AAC would just lose you 
quality, so don't do that.   Using Apple Lossless is meaningless on an MP3 
CD, since they are not CD-quality tunes...in fact, I doubt you'd even have 
that as an option.

Choosing MP3/AAC/Apple Lossless only makes sense on a normal CD, not a MP3 
CD (which is just a data CD with MP3 files on it.)

I just returned from outside the country with CDs with music and can 

import them to iTunes but I think they're all recorded or some of 

them in MP3 format...do I want to import using AAC or AppleLossless 

== I'd only be playing them on iTunes or iPod or burning a CD and 

space is not an issue, fortunately.
