The advantage of AIFF over WAV on a mac is that it keeps the meta data safe. Nevertheless for your stored files you can simply convert the files back from Lossless to AIFF and it should be identical to an original AIFF file if you compare bit for bit. For WAV/AIFF there is no conversion at all, so no additional processes when playing, thus a possible advantage. You could compare the unzipped file to the original bit for bit and not find a difference.Īnyway, if you go over to Computerasylum you will find many comments from people that did find a difference and pretty much everyone is attributing it to the real time unzipping as the data send do your DAC is in PCM format.

Think of it as compacing something in a zip file and then unzipping it. It certainly wouldn't be the first time!Īs Herman stated - there is no missing information. If the missing data made a difference I could hear (an improvement), I'd consider re-ripping the collection. User-interface and tagging are fully Unicode compliant.Probably no theoretical advantage in converting Lossless to AIFF, as the source material done first in AIFF would be a larger file (more 'information', audible or not). Generate nice reports and lists of your collection based on user-defined templates. Rename files based on the tag information and import tags from filenames. Replace strings in tags and filenames (with support for Regular Expressions).Ĭreate and manage playlists automatically while editing. Save typing and import tags from online databases like Discogs, freedb, MusicBrainz, and more. Write ID3v1.1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, MP4, WMA, APEv2 Tags and Vorbis Comments to multiple files at once.ĭownload and add album covers to your files and make your library even more shiny. You can rename files based on the tag information, replace characters or words in tags and filenames, import/export tag information, create playlists and more. It supports batch tag-editing of ID3v1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, iTunes MP4, WMA, Vorbis Comments and APE Tags for multiple files at once covering a variety of audio formats.įurthermore, it supports online database lookups from, e.g., Discogs, MusicBrainz or freedb, allowing you to automatically gather proper tags and download cover art for your music library. Mp3tag is a powerful and easy-to-use tool to edit metadata of audio files.
