10.4: Use Automator to mass-convert iTunes tracks
Authored by: kirkmc on Jun 30, '05 10:35:10AM

The bad news is, you may lose quality in the decompression/compression process... Is 5 GB worth having your music sound worse?

10.4: Use Automator to mass-convert iTunes tracks
Authored by: wrycooter on Jul 01, '05 01:38:35AM

Your music will sound worse that it does now, being compressed yet again.

What you want to do is rip AAC directly from your CDs. You can have higher quality for the same amount of disk space OR you can have the same quality as you have now, with a little bit more room on your drive. AAC sounds better than MP3 for the same file size.

A script to transfer your mp3s to AAC format is a fools errand. Buy a larger disk drive instead.
