Should I change file Format for CD burning

I'm new with this please bare with me. What I can say all the music I have purchased through iTunes is in the AAC Audio file format. All the music that I imported into iTunes MY Cd collection has been imported with the Apple Lossless Audio File.

My question is the sound quality of the BEST CD, do I have to convert the music I bought, with is in the ACC Audio, Apple Lossless file format, then burn to the CD? There should just go with the Audio of the right VAC on CD file. I ask this for music that I bought. All the other songs I imported CD into itunes is already Apple Lossless. I am not concerned about the larger files, just to get the best sound quality for CD.

Hi 80vette,

Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

I see you are eager to learn more about the quality of the music, and if you can do something else to get them to a better quality.  Now it is possible to convert your AAC to Apple Lossless files, the only change you will see is a significant increase of disk space being absorbed by these songs.  Simply put, you can put the lossless format, but you will hear no audio enhancement.  In addition, encoded AAC files downloaded from the iTunes Store already compete with the quality that you hear on a CD of music retail:

AAC encoded files compete with the quality of the audio CD and sound as good or better than MP3 files encoded in same or even a high sampling rate. For example, a 128 kbps AAC file should sound as good or better than a 160 Kbps MP3 file. Because the flow is weaker, the AAC file is also smaller than the MP3 file.

See you soon.

  • Best file format for Illustrator and PS files be placed in the ID

    I am writing a proposal using InDesign. It will output to PDF format for circulation among members of the team; I guess they will be view on a variety of screens and some will be to print on various desktop printers.

    I have a variety of images, all in color, in InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator to be included in the proposal. Varies from 5 x 7 to 2 x 2. Some are quite complex with fine detail.

    I just saw the proposal in preview overprinting ID / high quality display. The images don't look great. A lot of jagged lines.

    I usually save all in JPEG format with a quality of 80-90... but it's just a habit, I have no reason or justification for this practice.

    I wonder if I should go back to the original files of ID, PS and and save it back as something else before and then place them again.

    Does anyone have recommendations or thoughts to offer?

    I use CS4 on Mac. My computer is a little underpowered for the project at hand, but I'm willing to put up with a bit of slow performance and lag if it translates into a better final product.

    Irregular line is a feature of low resolution, no type of file or an overview screen lower quality than you think that you are using. Check the display performance settings again to make sure they are really good, and if they are configured to allow object level settings, you will need to make sure that each object is also correctly.

    Beond that record in .jpeg format is always destructive. For the web, it's nice, but for printing, you should never use anything, in my opinion, but the quality parameters for registration of JPEG files, and I recommend using jpeg at all. If your picture is that all raster data (pixels) Save .psd or .tif. If she has live type or any other vector content, save it as a Photoshop PDF. In Illustrator to save as .ai or PDF with Illustrator editing capability. If you change the extension of the files PDF Photoshop PDP they open in Photoshop rather than Acrobat when you use Edit Original.

    As I said, the effects of stairs are a feature of low resolution. We often have people tell us that the file is 300 dpi, but it turns out that it is a very small dimension and the imaga is furred in ID. Both links and information signs can show you the information of resolution of your images. There will be two numbers, real and effective. Effective resolution is the only number that is important. I would like to see a minimum of 150 dpi for printing on a desktop printer, but you could get away with as little as 90 for a non-critical image. Press 300 ppi would be the rule, and a fall below 200 asking trouble.

    How the file looks like ID is not nearly as informative as how a PDF file that was exported in the file looks like, or prints. For a high image resolution in the ID you are still looking at an overview of screen resolution lower, not the actual image, because she will be out. Export settings that downsample too far or apply too much compression to reduce file size also can turn a good document in an old piece of junk.

  • Use of the file format for saving file after eating a raw extension file

    Can someone explain the below please.

    (1) gross via Apple Photos and go edit the open module where it opens as a raw (nef pending).

    (2) open extension to step it up. Modify and save files.

    (3) file recorded while still in editing Photos watch module is like a jpg in the title. Right-click on the image and select Info and watch as raw

    (4) close edit module and look at the files in the photo browser and again and with all recent changes in place, it becomes a raw file (in the title and information).

    (5) raw open again file to modify the module and it says jpg (but Info says gross)

    What is going on? Any ideas? It's the jpg or raw or he's just read jpg info in the raw file? Or is it a big one. My ideal would be for the first to be kept in a form original and edited our at least edited to be tif.

    Thank you

    Colin

    Don't worry about this. Photos must save the JPEG preview to view your changes in the RAW.

  • Box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is grayed out out__cant change file association for any type of file

    I'm not allowed to change any combination of files for any type of file... If I try to associate a file type with a program that I can't the box is grayed out to always open the file with this program, for example, if I try to open .py (programming in python language file) with python from another program whenever I have to right click and open with python, but if I want to choose the "always use". the selected program to open this type of file"is grayed on I can not change it... pls help

    Hi VikkHckrz,

    1. you remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    Method 1:

    You can consult the following KB article and run the fix it tool available and check if you can assign file association.

    When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

    Also check out the link:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default

    After running the fixit so check the option is grayed out or not.

    Method 2:

    If you're still having problems, then you can try to change the settings in the registry only if it is present on your computer and check if it helps.

    a. Click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. navigate to the

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer

    (c) in the right side of the screen, double click on "NoFileAssociate".

    d. change the value of "NoFileAssociate" from 1 to 0.

    e. exit the registry editor and restart the computer and check.

    Important: The above mentioned steps show you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, follow the steps from the link below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    Hope this information is useful.

  • automatically changed file format

    HI -.

    I did save work under Windows PCM wav format.  Recently when I save a mix, it is automatically registered as a "16" file - that is, hearing, Windows PCM wav is not an option, but here's what it shows instead: Windows PCM (*.16; *.wav)

    What is and why it is happening?  Also how can I convert to simple Windows PCM wav format?  It has to do with the size of the file? It is 73.6 MB.

    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks, screenshots it's looking like you are using 1.0 or 1.5 hearing hearing (about 13).

    The forum most appropriate for this version is here: Audition 3.0.1 and earlier

    Honestly, I don't know how *.16 entered in the list.  It could happen with an accidental files ending il.16. If Windows may have thought that you were trying to add this extension, when the file had a date at the end of the file name.  An uninstall then reinstall probably fix it, but you will probably not be able to reactivate an old version, if you uninstall (so don't do that).

    Otherwise, it would mean probably through the registry to remove this option *. 16, but it is a complex process.

    The memory on your computer will not be a factor here.

  • How can I change the format for outgoing mail headers? For some reason, it expanded to four lines; can not find the ' to: ' line easily.

    After the recent upgrade of the outgoing message header changed completely. He is now a huge block with four lines over bar tools.

    First timer here in the Apple community so forgive my mistakes.

  • Oracle Retail file format standard for batch - necessary specification

    Is there the exact specifications of the Oracle Retail standard file format for batch, such as EdiUpcat.pc (with possibly of examples)?
    I am producing a file with the change in the cost of provider for the batch of changes in cost (ediupcat.pc).
    '' Operations Guide - overviews batch, designs - volume 1, '' I found a brief description, even if it is not unclear to me
    (1) what should I do with empty values (of course, cushion with a number suitable spaces?)
    (2) what should I do if some string value has fewer characters that it is specified? I should pad left or right-pad?
    (3) what means Number (12.4)? The number of characters exactly? 17? So why the values in some fields are multiplied by 10000 (as well as get the integer value) while in others, they will Number notation (12.4)?

    Hi Roman,
    I'm happy to be of assistance.

    Try to see it like this:
    A number 20 is char-length 20 in a flatfile, and the value is what it is 1:1.
    A number of 12.4 char-length 12 in a flatfile, but must be divided by 10 ^ 4 (10000) to get its real value.

    Indeed, there is a funny asymmetry in the documentation how are managed decimals - but we had to carefully read already anyway... :)

    I've always liked to build a file by hand in an editor (vi, whatever) and then run it through the program and check for errors in the error file.

    Good luck and best regards,
    Erik

  • Acrobat of PDX / IDX file formats

    Hello

    my client wants that I create a user interface (with Adobe AIR) to search in the index files Acrobat and view the results.

    I need a way to read files from Index of Acrobat (not sure, where real indices are, I think in the *.idx files) form ouside Acrobar Reader.

    If I had the pdx / idx format specification I would try to implement a parser, but I can't.

  • Change the default format for burning discs of this system active files in the ISO image format

    How can I change the default format for burning discs of this system of active files to ISO image format?  I don't want the active file as the default system and really don't want to have to choose what I want to use the default every time.  It's boring. I have Vista x 64 on my computer and have not yet adapted to all the changes in XP.

    Thanks, but it's not useful.  It is more that an 'improvement' Microsoft did that, as I fear, is a total and far failure to be an improvement.  It also means that I'll just use a 3rd party program to burn all my CD/DVDs.  You know if I wanted to be able to remove, reformat, etc.. CD/DVD I would use those rewritable.  That's why they exist.
