There's no loss of quality going from ALAC to FLAC, but how confident are you with the quality of the rip itself? That is, iTunes does not use AccurateRip or do any form of secure ripping. So the possibility of errors getting into the rip is real. If any of your CDs, or even your CD drive, had problems then the ALAC files will have errors, and the conversion to FLAC will only reproduce those errors.
So if you want to be 100% sure of quality, re-rip with dBpoweramp or EAC. That would apply not only to your ALAC tracks, but to anything ripped with iTunes. That's probably a big time investment, and only you can decide if it's worth your time to get that extra level of certainty. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81564 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
