Are you burning SACD or DVD-A or something else? How are you burning the disk? Specifically what app & what options?.It seems my music files are 24-bit Linear PCM and burn that way as well. Sonos, Squeezebox, WMP, dbPowerAmp, WinAmp, Foobar2000, Plex, KodiTV and many more all support Apple Lossless. it could be argued Apple Lossless is more widely supported and used than FLAC.

over 1 billion iOS devices plus all Macs, Apple TVs etc. With the fact that Apple Lossless is supported on all Apple devices i.e.
Microsoft themselves officially support both Apple Lossless and FLAC. Apple Lossless is an open-source standard just like FLAC.
Note: CD Audio Text is an enhancement to audio CDs that is not part of the official RedBook standard but does not 'break' compatibility with CD players that only understand the RedBook standard. So to repeat, a CD burned using iTunes or WMP as an 'audio' CD is burned in RedBook format.Ī CD burned as an 'MP3' CD is actually a standard data CD merely containing MP3 files although these days equally likely AAC files. This is possible because AIFF and WAV and the original audio CD are all uncompressed PCM data - merely wrapped in a different way, as proof if you were to compare the same file size of the track on an audio CD and as an AIFF or WAV file it would be effectively identical - baring overheads for headers and if any meta tag information is included. Should your computer display an audio CD as if it contains AIFF or WAV files it is actually possible to copy these files and they will work as AIFF files. What might confuse yourself and other people is that when a real Audio CD is inserted in a computer - that is a CD in RedBook format the computer operating system often will automatically and transparently 'display' this as if it contains a number of AIFF or WAV files and likewise will often automatically name these based on their track names by looking them up via Gracenote CDDB. Whilst it is possible to burn a CD in data format containing AIFF or WAV files this would be highly unusual. There is no such thing as a CD format using AIFF or WAV. They should be avoided because not all CD players will read those formats.Īpple Lossless is not an industry standard & should also be avoided if distributing CD's - it will not play on all CD Players.ĬDs burned by a computer in 'Audio' format are burned in RedBook format. Basically the OS wraps headers around the uncompressed audio to make it a AIFF or WAV.Īs for AAC and MP3 those formats are lossy, compressed formats. See the section Data access from computers on the Digital audio page, it explains how computers rip to AIFF/ WAV.

I suspect a PC will show WAV files - in effect the AIFF/ WAV format is how the device decides to rip the data.
If you view a commercial CD in Finder you will see AIFF files. WAV or AIFF is the correct format to burn if you plan on distributing it & want the widest range of CD players to play it.ĪIFF is effectively the same as WAV but was developed by Apple, WAV was developed by IBM, Microsoft The audio contained in a CD-DA consists of two-channel signed 16-bit Linear PCM Apparently he didn't understand that a 'full blown' or 'audio CD' are actually using AIFF/ WAV.Ĭommercial Audio CD's use the redbook format… I'm afraid John Lockwood's original post was wrong and has caused confusion.
