Great thread and posts!
Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This?
Hello Everyone.
There have been several threads that touch on the subject of lossless files for the Ipod, including my own posts describing my frustration "tagging" ordinary WAV files.
Although I still can't seem to find the right information in any one single place, an Audiogon friend recently told me that this whole business was a piece of cake with the latest version of Itunes.
Using Itunes or EAC (my old reference standard) could someone please tell me how to do the following in a Windows 2000 environment:
1) "Rip" individual tracks and/or entire CDs into my computer's drive in a true lossless or WAV format for maxium fidelity with no concern for storage space and
2) Do this in a way that preserves the track information, or at least permits easy "tagging" which will also transfer to the Ipod and
3) Extra credit: anything that enhances the ease and convenience of creating a library and/or contributes to maximum audiophile flexibility for other devices or formats or exportation to an external DAC.
Fingers crossed I might soon enjoy maximum fidelity for my big gig Ipod, even if I can only store a few CDs worth of content.
Thank you very much.
