I was wondering what the format of a CD is recorded with? WAV, AIFF, or neither. Here is the reason I am asking. I have a MacBook with a 1TB external hard drive that I have been burning my entire CD collection onto. Please don't jump down my throat here, but I decided to burn all my CD's with AIFF. I know everyone has been telling me to use Apple Lossless, but I have plenty of storage space on my hard drive. But I want to know, what is the original Red book information on a CD. I could have burned all my CD's using WAV instead. What are the costs and benefits of burning using AIFF and what are the costs and benefits of burning using WAV? I started using AIFF because I am using a MacBook but the MacBook also supports WAV. So I do not know one way or the other which is the best format between the two. I would think that if the information on a CD is AIFF than I should use that format to burn my CD's on my external hard drive. What format do recording studios use? A lot of questions but if anyone could help me I would be grateful. Thanks.
