Audiophiles please help me out
Here's the situation. In a few days, my band will be receiving a CD from a place that recorded our live set on pro equipment (don't know what any of it is so please don't ask ). They record you rather than pay...anyway...
I will be making copies of this to distribute to friends, family, and fans. Furthermore, i want to have a pristine quality copy in case the CD is misplaced or whatever, as well as for anyone listening on high quality stereos. I don't however have unlimited of HD space and will not be upgrading (i have enough for the 6 songs but you know... ) So i pose the question, for my needs will Apple Lossless suffice or will it be better to just bite the bullet and go full out AIFF for encoding? If there is a difference, is the compromise noticable at all?
Thanks.
PS if this was discussed somewhere else i'm sorry, i searched in both the MR searchbox and google...
