Converting and organizing playlists
I have a few questions about Music app on Mac:
I'm converting about 16 CD's to "Apple lossless" but when i select it from encoder settings, the quality cannot be changed.. Is this VBR? (Variable Bit Rate)
I prefer to be lossless, but also 256Kpbs
Unfortunately, after conversion all my songs are 960K, 1,066Kpbs etc... which won't tie in with my Apple music subscription being all 256K. I realize the change of bit rate would justify the meaning of the term 'lossless' but i would assume that is only when converting from other file formats TO.. Not from CD right ? As a CD is usually around 128K anyway..
How can you put more bits into a file which isn't there in the first place ? it won't sound any better.. I like all my music to be consistent.
Also, after converting CD, [Disc 1] and [Disk 2] are appended to album which splits them up in library, Which means i must edit these after-the-fact to be all in the same album, if there are multiple discs..
Is there a way when ripping from CD *NOT* to append these?
It's becoming a really pain.
