What format would you use to bounce to Itunes?
What format is best for itunes for high quality?
What format is best for itunes for high quality?
From "best" to "less but good enough":
24 bit PCM (= AIFF, WAV, SDII or CAF)
16 bit PCM
Apple Lossless
320 Kbps AAC
320 Kbps MP3
256 Kbps AAC
256 bKbps MP3
Two years later, is the above still the right order: where would MP4 sit please.

Still the same. MP4 = M4a = AAC.
Thanks, the dog has not aged a bit in the intervening....😁
Erik -
Why isn't lossless superior to 16bit PCM? Same quality, maybe better if 24 bit, and it's smaller.

I rank it lower because it is less compatible. Soundqualitywise, it'll be much the same as PCM. Also, on playback it has to be decoded, so it'll also be a bit more CPU-intensive than PCM.
