which is better; aiff or apple lossless
Hi
I have two questions, thus requiring help.
Q1
As an experiment, I down installed a musical CD twice to the same folder in the iTunes media>music>compilations>folder A. In the folder are two files, namely .aiff and .m4a (apple lossless selected encoder). The .aiff files are bigger than the .m4a files. Which is the better codec for an eventual play on HDTV (1080p) via the 4th generation Apple TV.
Q2
I installed some musical CD's into iTunes and in Adobe Bridge the file arrangement is as follows: iTunes>Album Artwork>iTunes Media>Music>Compilations>Folders (1-10). I then manually created 3 new main folders, listing them as A, B and C. I manually moved folders 1, 2, 3 and 4 into main folder A; folders 5, 6 and 7 into main folder B and; folders 8, 9 and 10 into main folder C. The titles in each main folder are the same, but, different venue and year.
However, all the installed files are listed one after another in the main iTunes window with 1) the albums (top right hand corner) and 2) title (drop down list) selected. I have a total of 200 musicals that I would like to load into iTunes. In the iTunes window, all 200 albums will be listed and the page will be long with the scrol bar becoming small. How can I create the same album arrangement in the iTunes window as I have it in Adobe Bridge. How can I create main album A and then transfer albums 1, 2, 3 and 4 into it. To do the same for main Albums B and C in iTunes. Am I doing the right method or is there another way. Any help will be appreciated.
