Import CD in iTunes settings for encoder - seeking advice

Hi, When importing cd's into iTunes, I see that I have a choice of encoders. There's AAC, AIFF, MP3 and something else. What would you advise be the best or most universal or useful encoder? Many thanks for your opinions. Andrew -- The following information is important for all members of

Re: Import CD in iTunes settings for encoder - seeking advice

That's very clear. Just one last thing; having imported a cd into my itunes using lossless, how does it play with itunes match? Next to the new title imported I can see its status as "pending upload'. Am I correct in thinking that it's best not to upload this new music imported using

Re: Anyone know of good chat aps or means of meeting people on our phones

Well, there is always Kik, although its groups can only hold up to 50 people per group, so most of the time you'll find that people make group, group1, group2, to hold all the members, which results in fragmenttion. There is Skype, which is okay if you have contacts that make big 90+ member

Re: Import CD in iTunes settings for encoder - seeking advice

Hi Andrew, No problem; that’s why we’re here. Unfortunately, no. The loss incurred by lossy encoding is permanent. You will have to re-rip those CDs. This incidentally highlights another obvious benefit of lossless formats: archival. When the next format-de-jour comes along, or if you

Re: Import CD in iTunes settings for encoder - seeking advice

It depends on what you want to do with your files. Playback generally requires a widely-supported format, whilst editing will require larger, original files. Since iTunes generally rips CDs for playback, that’s probably what you want to do. MP3 produces smaller files that are extremely

Re: Import CD in iTunes settings for encoder - seeking advice

Hi Sabahattin, Thank you so much for such a detailed description of the choices in converting my cds in iTunes. You are very kind. May I ask, since I've so far been importing my cds into iTunes using the default AAC encoder, is there a way of converting the already imported music in this way

i have had this shocking bug as well, if you are focused on playing text and you try to command tab out of it, that is the worst. If you deliberately put focus on a link and then get out of the page it's not so bad but headings can get you stuck as well. i really hope this is fixed and quickly.

I'd add that, if your mouse pointer isn't set to follow your VoiceOver cursor, you should first move the mouse to VO's focus with vo-cmd-f5. To check what's under the mouse (if clicking doesn't do what you expect), use vo-f5. > On Oct 25, 2015, at 01:59, M. Taylor wrote: > >

Re: Safari holds onto VO focus in El Capitan

I am trying to get a handle on this myself. I think what is happening is when a page is reloading or refreshing, VoiceOver’s focus goes back to it, even if you have moved away from Safari. There used to be a VO setting that indicated something about the focus going to a newly loaded webpage.
