Actually, iTunes does a good job of tagging AIFF files. I've ripped our Sound Effects library (some 25,000+ FX) from CD to AIFF using iTunes.
Now, that being said, I'm SURE the way iTunes tags them is NOT a standard, as AIFFs weren't intended to be used this way. WAV files are pretty much the same. BWAV (Broadcast Waves) are different, but only pro apps are using BWAV at this point. I really don't understand why you'd want to rip as AIFF anyway. Apple Lossless (or FLAC) is truly lossless and takes half the storage space as native files (AIFF/WAV). My preference is iTunes ripping as ALAC, mainly because I prefer the way iTunes handles tagging and multiple libraries. >From ALAC I can transcode to anything else for my iPod. Also, once everything is ripped ALAC I use a shareware program called iVolume that does a GREAT job dealing with ReplayGain. -- 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=41164 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
