Hey guys,
I have a quick question. A few years ago I ripped my CD collection to Apple Lossless format. I want to now add those albums to my iPod and as Lossless files are pretty big file sizes, I want to create 256kbps AAC (iTunes+) versions instead.
I understand that if I was to convert an MP3 file to AAC, this would lead to quality loss. Does the same apply if I was to convert the Apple Lossless files to 256kbps AAC or would this offer exactly the same result as ripping the CDs again directly to AAC?
Hope that makes sense
Thanks
