Whenever you burn to a music CD, AFAIK the music is converted into PCM format before burning. So the source format doesn't matter much (except, of course, if you are using lossy -- then your resulting CD will only be as good as the original file).
For example, I use WinAmp sometimes to burn CDs from playlists that I create. These playlists frequently have both mp3s and FLAC files in them. First WinAmp converts them all to PCM, and then it burns the CD. So I don't think any file format has an advantage in terms of CD burnability. If you're talking data CDs, though, that's different. I imagine very few CD players that can play music from data CDs can handle FLAC -- but I've never owned one, so I don't really know if this is true.

Aiff certainly works natively on Slimserver just as well as FLAC, (and much better than WAV because of the latter's untaggability). However, it also has all of ALAC's advantages over FLAC if one happens to be a Mac and/or iPod user, and it burns a high quality CD (although, thinking about it, I've never tried this with Flac. Does Flac play in an ordinary domestic/car CD player?) It seems silly not to have the extra versatility, even though Aiff eats iPod storage like there's no tomorrow. Which is why I use both, I suppose! -- geraint smith ------------------------------------------------------------------------ geraint smith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=625 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30325 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
