Hi basshound or anyone else who cares to answer,
Interesting post as I am too a new A A Express owner and trying to get the best out of it too.
On this basis, including the fact that I am up to now an old school cd owning rip to iTunes guy ( in other words I dont download from iTunes ). What is the best ripping format straight from cd to set up my preferences to ???
Lossless ? etc ... etc .... Please spell it out to me as confused ?
Yes,definately would go for lossless and as you`re using iTunes ALAC is the obvious choice,would also agree about turning error correction on,does take longer but is worth it.Once you have your cd`s in lossless you can always make a lossy version for putting onto iPod etc. but can`t do it the other way round. Would also recommend making a back up of (at least) the iTunes music folder in case of HD failure.
