Re: Can I make a case for AIFF files in the Audio Torrent Forum?

AIFF is to Apple as WAV is to PC ..that product seems more a computer reading/writing standard data file CD's

hook your PC up to your stereo with a $100 sound card & play all the 96/24 files you wish
-cause once you burn a 'CD24' disc..its not playing back in any other device other than a computer.

http://www.nextag.com/ALESIS-MasterL...09/prices-html.. $800 - pass.
They'll play back on the Masterlink as well as a computer.

The reason I ask is that some people are asking me in PMs for 24-bit copies of some of my torrents - so they apparently have a use for them, whatever it might be.

800 bucks for a Masterlink in the US equates to about 400 UK pounds - which in my book is a BARGAIN - I paid 699 UK pounds for mine a couple of years ago. If I could get one over here for that money I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

It's not about ME 'hooking the PC up to the stereo' and playing the 24-bits here, as I can just plug the Masterlink into the stereo and play them on that - it's about how to get them to other people who are asking for them; I can make 16-bit, 44.1kHz torrents easily, but Audacity doesn't want to co-operate with making 24-bit flacs, and ideally I'd like to shortcut the process and get the AIFFs direct to the people who ask for them.

At the end of the day, I could burn the CD24s and mail them out, but if I can do it more efficiently by torrenting them................
