How do you incode your digital media?


Looking at my options here. Has anyone experienced any problems with the "lossless" forms of media storage? Any differences in fidelity that only us audiophiles may be bothered by? I am looking to incode everything in Apple Lossless, as it seems to be the most recognized and should integrate with a Squeezebox 3 nicely.

Let me know if you have any thoughts!

Drubin,

I use AIFF wirelessly to an Airport Express and only rarely experience dropouts... iteresting enough, it is usually when first starting up the server. I can't find a reason why it happens, but once it has played for a few minutes, it's OK.

As far as bandwith, if the SB is 80211.g (which I beleive it is) their should be no issue with bandwidth..

CD's 44.1 Khz
80211.G 54 (some 108) Mbs

You have plenty of bandwidth, you might have a weak signal to your SB, try moving it around a little... my one computer's wireless signal can go from excellent (5 bars) to poor (2 bars) simply by moving the tower 2 inches on the desk.... I suspect there is a stub right behind it and it blocks the signal... something similar may be happening to you.
