What is the best audio format to import a CD?

Dear people of the communities,

What is the best format in terms of better sound quality for an import CD, regardless of the size of the file, just a pure sound quality?

The goal is to save my music library CD and vinyl in a computer/drive and listening using a computer connected to a sound system 'Stereo' (not ' Surround', regular stereo) with speakers high quality stereo (L + R).

So far, I've downloaded using a 320 kbps MP3 format. Listening to a CD quality is very poor.

I use iTunes 10.7.x (as well as iTunes 12.x on a newer platform, but imports of CD I use version 10.7)

All parameters are the following:

Import using MP3 encoder =

Parameters = custom

Use the Error Correction = No.

---------------------------------------------

Stereo BitRate = 320 Kbps

VBR = No

= 44,100 kHz sampling rate

Channels = stereo

Stereo mode = Normal

Smart encoding = No

Filter Freq below 10 Hz = No

I think he wouldn't be WAV course, AIFF and Apple Lossless I know are both better quality, but using an Apple encoder can restrict what will be the player who is also important.

Thank you

Any lossless format will offer the best audio quality.  The available choices:

  • WAV is probably the most widely supported but it lacks the ability to incorporate metadata or illustrations, so while you can move the audio between different systems files as soon as you go outside iTunes you will lose all the artist / album / song information.
  • Apple Lossless (ALAC) is definitely the best choice in iTunes - he has the same metadata / support work such as MP3 or AAC and supports full 16/44.1 audio with file sizes about 65% of the equivalent WAV file
  • AIFF is very similar to the ALAC, except that (in the Variant used by iTunes), there is no lossless compression, so the file size will be larger

The determining factor here will be where you intend to use the files - many other readers take in charge of the three options mentioned above, either natively or (for the ALAC and AIFF) using the appropriate plugins.  Unfortunately the lossless codec which has the broad support of all (FLAC) is not supported by iTunes.  There are, however, many utilities out there that can convert between ALAC and FLAC (and vice versa) if that proves necessary.

  • What is the best audio format?

    Anyone has any experience with audio formats for DPS?

    I've got content in mp3 format, which will play on the iPad. Also thought to be converted M4A but I didn't know if there was no advantage to it.

    Any advice?

    Steven Sokulski

    It is not so much the extension that counts. In many cases, this extension is all the same or a differently named wrapper for the real content: encoded an audio channel. For an iPad, coding ("codec") can be AAC, which is recently offered as a standard 'open' by Apple, or the popular MP3. For other devices, it is best to stick to the MP3 format because they don't necessarily support the AAC already.

  • What is the best audio book or the book of the app?

    I want to buy a book that is in audio form and also as a app. Is there an advantage to have one over the other?  Which do you recommend?

    Audio books can be copied to other MP3 players (and, for example, by read on your device via the vehicle's audio system) or played on your computer, (although they are only unique downloads, so add them to your backup of your library).

    Apps can only be used on iOS devices.

    The app have extras, and similar prices?

  • What is the best type of file for dissemination of a dvd to DLNA compatible TV?

    Hello all. I have an old pc running xp pro sp3, Media Player 11 and Nero Media Home Esentials 4 as my DLNA server. I just bought a LG TV which is DLNA certified. How can I get my collection of films to broadcast on television? Hard, the TV is connected to my home network and my Netflix subscription works very well and my music stream beautifly. My movie collection is stored as iso files, but the LG TV nor the nero software recognize the iso as a file to read. What would be the fastest way to convert these files and what is the best file format to maintain the quality of the original dvd format? So far, I absolutely love the DLNA but I saw some mpeg and avi video and the quality is very poor. I have one of my iso dvd of for a rip avi file, but the quality is once again, poor.

    Thanks for any help in getting myself educated with my new toy!

    Scott

    If you ask me, I prefer MKV and H.264 - they are easily superior to DivX and MPEG2, IMO.

    But even once, as Barb says, try your luck on the LG forums as well.

  • What is the best format to select then copy music from a cd to itunes

    I copy my cd collection into iTunes. What is the best format that should be selected for the best quality of music? Thank you.

    "Better format" and "Better music" (sound quality) are not the same question, for audio encoding.  The best sound comes from a "Lossless" format  The encoding using the Apple Lossless Encoder encoder in iTunes provides without loss of sound quality, compared to the songs on CD (which are in AIFF format).  You can also use the AIFF encoder, but the files of the song will be a little bit bigger compared to Apple Lossless.  However, TWO Apple Lossless AIFF formats and create larger files of the song, so they take more space on your computer drive (several times over).

    iTunes Store sells songs in format AAC , compression ratio 256 kbps.  This format may provide the best combination of efficiency (small size) and the sound quality.  There is a minor loss in sound quality due to compression, but I can't tell the difference between lossless and AAC at 256 Kbps, format with my headphones and speakers (and ears).  To use this format when you import your CD, select the AAC Encoder value encoder iTunes more.

    NOTE: Import encoding settings run the button import the settings of iTunes preferences General pane.

  • What is the best way to import and export images from the 5 d Mark II?

    Hello

    I have just finished what I plan my first masterpiece of shooting film.  Shot on the Canon 5 d (1080 p, 24 fps), and the film looks amazing.  Now, I'm ready to start editing and now use creating lately, but I still have to figure out the proper conduct.  I want to know the best way to keep the resolution before I dive into this project.

    My questions:

    (1) what is the best way to start a new project and import the images without having to make while editing, in order to keep all the resolution and the originality of the source footage?

    (2) what is the best way / codec / format to export these images even once done editing to maintain than crisp 1080 p for which the 5 d is therefore counted?

    (3) what is the best way / codec / format for import and export / rendering between the first and after effects?  I speak especially of Visual effects and color correction.  I also a few sequences of 30 images per second that I intend to slow down in AE and then import into first.

    I know that it's wide enough, but as a solo Director I really need advice from someone.  Rarely, I finished my films with the same look crispy as images.  I need help of pipeline and really appreciate it!

    It would be good if I could generate this string using the static methods of a class.






    You can use date formatter:

    Import mx.formatters.DateFormatter;
    ...

    var trainer: DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
    formatter.formatString = "YYYY/MM/DD JJ:NN:SS;

  • What is the best way to make a second copy of a series of photos on a hard drive after that I imported and made changes?

    What is the best way to replace the second copies of photos created during import with revised versions? Export, seems to be an option, but is there a method named? I use Lightroom CC/6

    I don't think you understand the concept of Lightroom. The settings are stored in the catalog. They are not applied to the images. The catalog is the key. If the images in the main location are damaged or lost, then you can copy the backup images at that location and any adjustments that have been made will be implemented. The main thing you want to be sure to do is have a backup of your catalog, as well as a backup of your images. You can export copies of your images as JPEG, PSD or TIF images, and these copies will have all the adjustments included.
