[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 92095, member: 34"] Re: Audio Files - best quality WMA is Windows Media Audio, give you three guesses why Mac can't handle it. FLAC is Free Lossless Audio Codec, gets you an end result file about 60% of the original .wav file while still having 100% quality, and it allows metadata like ID tagging whereas .wav does not. .AIFF is just Apple's lossless codec, proprietary to them. Works about the same as FLAC. If you can't hear the difference, then it doesn't matter. But with good music on a good system, it's pretty easy to call when an mp3 is playing. [/QUOTE]
