iTunes Apple Lossless Setting Mystery

Perhaps you can explain this peculiarity. I have my Import Settings set to Apple Lossless, and I use this whem ripping CD's or downloading from music sites. Yet when I am in my Library, and I right-click on a song, one of the options is Convert to Apple Lossless. When I choose that option, it looks like the song is being converted, based on what shows in the information bar on the top of iTunes. It shows time elapsed and conversion speed.

What is going on here? Have I not imported with Apple Lossless in the first place. Is there a duplicative conversion process going on? Anyone with an answer to this mystery? Thanks.

Neal,

I am not sure what computer you are using or which version of itunes you are working with. To find out whether your song is originally downloaded in apple lossless format, go to itunes, select one of your songs, go to the itunes toolbar, click on "get info", and an info panel will open. It has all sorts of info about that song. Look for "format". It should say "apple lossless". If it does you are good to go. If it does not, you need to re-set your import preferences. Best of luck!!
