I have about 125 CD's loaded into my Seaport Free Agent Go Pro 500GB external hard drive connected (Firewire 800) to my MAC Book Pro computer and many more to go. It takes between 3 to 5+ minutes per CD using the AIFF format. I put the discs in and check back in 5 minutes. This is a very boring time consuming process. I recommend the AIFF format. I have a 2nd Seaport drive for backups.
Music file format advice
I have a Modwright Tranporter on order and thought I'd get a head start by ripping my CD collection to hard drive before its arrival. For music browsing/selection for play I'd like to use a device with a graphical interface such as an iTouch.
Question is, which music file format to use? Does using an iTouch for browing a music library and selecting the music to be played require the files to be in a format such as AIFF or WAV? Will it work with files in FLAC format and still show me CD cover art?
Any advice on which controller and what music file formats I should consider using is appreciated.
Thanks.
