Ok.. So i'm trying to get my head around this encoding and decoding buisness. I'll tell you what i'm hoping to do using Itunes and if anyone could tell me if it works and how to do it would be great.
I'm planning on getting an external harddrive and using itunes to rip all my cd's to lossless. However, I then when I use them on my IPOD I want them on as AAC 256kb VBR.
My questions is:
1. Can I convert lossless to AAC without ruining the original lossless files on the hard drive using Itunes. If I do that will that totally confuse the Itunes Library?
2. Will I then have a duplicate on the hard drive of both lossless and AAC or will the AAC just convert to the IPOD.
I'm a traditional cd in the cd player man so this portable buisness is new to me so be gentle
