Thumbs up Re: Converting Files To Wav and Into iTunes

Well everything seemed to work without any problems. What I did was decode the files from .shn to .wav. I saved the finished results in my documents folder. After that I imported each music file into itunes. I then put them onto cd and they were still in their full lossless form after finishing burning them. I listened to the cds and they sound great with no gaps. I converted to AAC for ipod use only. I still have a full .wav copy on cd and the torrent .shn files as well on my pc for reseeding at another time. That will be my next project to figure out how to seed this for another time. Thanks to all for helping me out on this.

there is no need to burn then rip them, the files are already on your comp

open xACT
"add" the files that you have as wavs/flac
"decode" the files, i like aiff myself but wav works too

open iTunes
drag and drop the files
set your prefs to "aac" (iTunes will keep the original as a aiff/wav, don't worry)
select convert selection under "advanced"
you will now have the file in iTunes 2 times, once as a aac for your iPod and once as aiff/wav for burning
