Hi y'all. I am somewhat new to secure ripping, but have been using XLD software on my Mac for a few months to rip CD's into Apple Lossless format for playing in iTunes.
When I compare the sound of XLD ripped music to iTunes ripped music (Apple Lossless format), the bottom end is much more pronounced when using XLD - in a high quality way. However, the midrange becomes recessed (not so much a problem) and the sonic image quality changes; it is much less lively.
I realize that saying that the sonic stereo image is less lively or vivid may not be the kind of language (or issue) that y'all deal with in this forum, but I thought that I should at least try to find someone who has used XLD on a Mac who might be able to help me find the best way to create a hard drive based library.
Thanks in advance.
Rick
