It SHOULD be at a sample rate of 44.1kHz, not 48kHz!! Also, the reason the speed varies is because of the disc actually changing speed as it goes. The 'inside' of the disc spins much faster than the 'outside' of the disc for the same amount of throughput. As someone has already mentioned, AIFF is a RAW file format and not lossless in the same way as ALAC or FLAC are. You will save some HD space by using ALAC, especially if you're using iTunes to rip. My biggest problem with FLAC, at least as a Mac user, is it's not as easy to edit the TAG information. That's pretty simple in iTunes if you stick with ALAC. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31176 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
