iTunes. Easy to use, beautiful and sounds better than anything Micro$lop can come up with.

Codec/format/whatever buddy, not program. And if you think iTunes is worth encoding anything but Apple Lossless you are surely mistaken.

Probably on a PeeCee, you have to worry about all that. On a Mac it's all done transparently very quickly and easily.

no, codecs still matter.

Not in iTunes. It just does it automatically.

you have a lot to learn

mp3 with LAME, the compression quality and ratio really isn't bad, despite the non-believers. And mp3 always good for compatibility.

MP3, EAC + LAME VBR.

For compatibility and ease of use, MP3 still wins. Last time I checked, my car MP3 CD Player doesn't play AAC, ALAC, FLAC, etc. Don't really want to re-encode either.

I'm sure I'll go fully lossless if I spend more than $1k on my sound system (and could actually hear the difference).

I'm asking friends to do that, because I am not so computer savy, however I think it's MP3

If anyone on ATOT uses ATRAC they need to turn their geek card in, unless they use MiniDiscs, cause I guess thats understandable
