Converting to Apple Lossless
cram:I've ripped in 128 then 256 and am now going to lossless....
Re earlier point about keeping lossy and lossless versions within the same library. There is another alternative albeit on Macs. See linky below, basically a set of apple scripts to convert songs on the fly from lossless to aac when syncing to an ipod. Haven't tried it and would imagine that it would be slow

FanTAStic, am having a go at that - it does it already for the shuffle, but only to 128k, but have been clamouring for a while to have it configurable to any bitrate and for it to work with all iPods...
Sorry if I missed it, but did anyone actually give an answer to the OP? I've had to rip a track using .wav through Nero because iTunes fell over everytime. I'm now stuck with one .wav file within a whole library of Apple Lossless files. The biggest problem is that the track is now out of order within the album, appearing as track 1 when it is actually number 9. How very dare it!
Being the big silly that I am, I can't anything within iTunes or Nero to convert .wav to Lossless, although iTunes does give me the opportunity to turn a .wav into a .wav... I cannot stand the disorder!
Change your rip settings in iTunes to 'Apple Lossless'. Then the right click option will change to "Create Apple Lossless Version".
As for track order, do a right click/get info for each track, and make sure the track number is correct for each one (the rest are probably fine, probably just need to do the WAV one).
All sorted now. It was actually the fact that I hadn't specified "disk 1 of 1" in the new file that caused it to not be in the correct order. Didn't realise iTunes was quite so picky...
Converting to Apple Lossless....
From FLAC.
Is it possible?
Best way to do it?
I use iTunes and prefer to keep using it as my player/music library app of choice (for now).
Yes, for PC for me.
Thanks.
Again.
Here you go then. Think it's free, but you can investigate. No experience of it though.
Excellent program and has a batch convertor if you need it. I converted my entire FLAC collection with dbPowerAmp.
