Lossless to ACC conversion

[pedz]

My basic reason is every few years a new technology comes out that is better e.g. more compact, higher quality, etc. Right now, I've ripped my CD's at least three times. I did it lossless this time to make it the last time. Now I can convert to the better formats whenver they come along and pump them into my iPod in a few hours.

I think the solution may be to play games with where iTunes keeps its library. I don't really need the lossless versions "on line". They can be hidden off in some other folder.

I'll play around with it and see what I come up with.

Thanks,

One solution would be this: Put your Lossless tracks on DVD-Rs. All of them. In iTunes, only keep AACs. When you add a new CD, import them to both Lossless and AAC, and when you have about 4.5 GB of new lossless tracks, burn a DVD-R with them and put them aside.
