iTunes question...

[Azza]

Does it limit you to what type of file format you can import into it?

e.g. does it let you import WMA files or only MP3 etc...?



Cheers

it should allow you to import them but it will re-encode them to your desired format (you set it in options). It doesn't work with all formats though.

OK thanks.

WMA will be auto-converted to AAC, otherwise most formats will work.

AAC is better quality than MP3? My none itunes music is currently in mp3 format etc.

it should also do mp3 if you've set the preference to mp3 - or it does on mine.

It can import mp3s and wma files, wma i think get automatically converted. By default it may try and covert everything to AAC too, but just checkt the options and tell it to use mp3 instead. Although i've heard the mp3 re-encoder isn't that great on quality compared to LAME, but i can't back that up myself...

you really should avoid re-encoding lossy files wherever possible. if you want to use wma files, then use something else that will play them natively.
