Tips and warnings

  • The difference between WAV and AIFF is proprietary (WAV was developed for Windows, AIFF for Apple), not auditory, so there is no difference in sound quality. If you still want to convert MP3 or WAV files to AIFF, you need a blank CD. Create a playlist and fill it with the tracks you want to convert to AIFF. Burn the contents of the playlist. When it is burned, click on ‘Import settings …’. Select ‘AIFF Encoder’ from the drop-down list and press OK to apply your new settings. Click on ‘Import CD’ and the CD contents will be displayed in your music library in AIFF format.

    • Converting audio files, especially MP3, to WAV or AIFF, can be done in almost any audio editor. The problem is that most programs cannot convert multiple MP3 files to another audio format in one step. Users are usually forced to convert tracks one MP3 at a time, in what becomes a tedious process. Fortunately, iTunes 9 solves the batch conversion problem by allowing users to convert an unlimited amount of tracks to WAV files in a matter of clicks.
