aaf is "advanced authoring format" used for transfer media file from one platform to another i.e. windows to mac.

aac on the other hand is the mpeg 4 layer for audio.

Am I wrong or is ALE (Apple Lossless Encoding) the only "lossless" codec to support Embeded Metadata (AKA Tagging).?

At my company we HATE how Sound Ideas' General 6000 is still only available on clunky audio CDs. We are ripping the entire library to a hard disk and using iTunes as the librarian program. We decided to go with Apple's Lossless encoder not primarily to save disk space, but also because it stores the lengthy track descriptions, a must for sharing the files over a LAN and ensuring speedy transfer of the needed sound effects, and using iTunes' powerful search features.

Any objections?

The question no one has directly answered is.... Approx. how many songs can you put on a G4 20 GB ipod in either AIFF or Lossless?


To be honest I would rather go quality and remove 10 "cds" everyonce in a while. I am not as much into quantity as quality.

I have approx. 200 cds, but I proabably only want 75-100 to "travel" with me.

So there has to be someone who went 100% AIFF or Apple Lossless....

I am not sure about the apple lossless audio, but making some basic calculations on aiff, I reckon you would get about 40 albums on your 20GB iPod.

Hope that helps.....

ummmmmmmm 303 .aiff songs on my 30 gig iPod but the tracks were encoded at 48.000 khz, 16bit, stereo so they are a little big yours could differ depending on your level of encoding
