FLAC, WAV or AIFF question

Goofyfoot,

Sounds like we are doing similar using A+2.x and YATE for tagging. A+ sounds much better with V2 and without iTunes integrated mode!

Still would argue that AIFF is advantageous over WAV just for it's better compatibility with ipods, etc. I've had trouble with WAV files not keeping needed tags. Nothing like moving a bunch of tracks onto your portable or phone and then seeing no titles when you want to select your tracks. Cheers,

Spencer

If anyone is using Linux, or is willing to try it, Puddletag is the best tagger I've seen so far. If you do a lot of tagging, its definitely worth the effort.

Sbank, what's V2? Yes agreed, I use A+ as a stand alone player and my settings are perfect.

Goofy,

Audirvana+ latest versions: 2.1 and later 2.2. When Damien introduced version 2.1, he built in major database functionality that now allows for control of your library without running in the "iTunes Integrated mode". Without iTunes running the sound quality improvement is large! Now there is a good interface so most users won't miss the iTunes navigation.
Many users still have their Audirvana running version 1.5, and I suggest they upgrade. There are a couple of discussion threads on computeraudiophile.com discussing improvement suggestions (many already implemented) etc. The A+ designer reads those threads regularly if you run into any issues or want to suggest something for the future. Cheers,
Spencer

Yes Spencer, I agree but I didn't realize that V was for version. Anyhow, the new A+ (and there was just an upgrade a couple of days ago) is better than the 1.5 version however, it was possible to drop a list from iTunes into the A+ 1.5 menu and run A+ alone.
The sound of the newer A+ is slightly better than that of the 1.5 so I also recommend the upgrade but found that once I downloaded V2, that I also needed Yate.
