![]() now I not sure if they are still 320 or wav when playing off i-tunes. AAC is like Apple's version of MP3 which is also lossy.Ĭheers for that man, i feel a lot more clued up now!Ĭool how do you check this? because to use up less memory i deleted some of my original music files because i thought that itunes has copies of them. ![]() ![]() Lower bitrates (256, 192, 128) cut out more and more stuff, and I would argue that most people can hear that bitrates less than 320 sound worse. But there is stuff missing nevertheless, and therefore once you convert a WAV to MP3, there is no way of getting back the missing information. ![]() 320s only cut out the tiniest amount of very high frequency stuff which is almost impossible to notice except on the highest fidelity studio monitors or headphones. MP3s work by cutting out parts of the audio that are normally difficult to hear. AIFF is also basically equivalent to WAV (lossless). It's also one of the fastest encoding and decoding formats. (Lossless, 1411kb/s) The advantage of FLAC is that it can compress files to 50% the size of the WAV without losing any information. CDA files on a CD are basically equivalent to WAVs. FLAC supports sample rates up to 192KHz and bit depths up to 24 bit. You can therefore convert WAV to FLAC and FLAC back to WAV without losing anything.
