AIFF or WAV would be much better candidates if we were going down the lossless digital music route because they are more widely compatible (though a 320 kbps mp3 is the most I'll ever need).

- rgbrgb 14y agoI'm just saying that if we're choosing a lossless audio codec I'd like one supported by Apple. I'll sacrifice storage capacity for being able to listen with iTunes/iPhones. That said... I always choose mp3's for everything that's not a "master copy".
