Beomaster 5 how to convert musice lossless from my Apple ?

7 replies

Apple lossless, wont work with BeoMaster 5 i have heard. So what do i need to get my one to one CD copy to ma BM 5 ?

I think WAV is the anwser. It doesn't do WMV which were the other lossless option.

Problem with WAV is it seems it doesn't do coverart, the posting in the MAc forum.

I think some go bootcamp and or virtual pc or something like that and run beoplayer on their macs.

I have Parallels and Windows XP installed on my Mac minis and Macbooks. Set Beoplayer to lossless, insert a CD, press COPY and drag your CD directly to the Folder icon for your BM5.

I would use AAC best quality.. If you can hear the difference between that and lossless I will give you a beer..

😁

The OP was asking about a "one to one CD copy". If there were no differences between lossless and aac, should we not call it "useless" instead of "lossless"....?😎

If you listen to converts, opera and DJ mixes it is very easy to recognize AAC as there is a short annoying gap between tracks.

WMV lossless plays gapless, so it is very easy to detect.

PM me for my address, I like Brooklyn Indian Pale. :0)

Haha forget it mate..

Thats the type of music and not the quality your talking about.

But nice try though..

Merry Xmas
