By default, i. Tunes will import (or rip) CD tracks using the AAC encoder at 256 kbps. This is a “lossy” compression format (meaning i. Tunes makes your tracks consume less space by removing audio data that you shouldn’t be able to hear).
The next thing we wanted the answer to was; how do I use iTunes to rip multiple CDs?
If you want to use i. Tunes to rip multiple CDs, we suggest having i. Tunes automatically start the import process and eject the CD when complete to speed up the process. You can do this by following the above steps to get into the Importing tab. Under the Importing section, in the CD Insert drop-down menu, select Import CD and Eject.
While I was researching we ran into the inquiry “Does iTunes compress CD’s?”.
If you choose to import the CD into your library, i. Tunes does so at 256 k. B/s AAC lossy compression. But as I have explained in an earlier article, I’m not a huge fan of compression.
