Also, which encoder is best to use? AAC, AIFF, Apple LossLess Encoder, MP3 or WAV?

And then there's Sample Rate (44.1, 48.0 or Auto).

Geesh. I had no idea I didn't know so much.

Thanks,

There is no "best" encoder. It's not that generic. That's kind of like asking which single size socket you should have to fix your car.

It depends on the end purpose. Not all devices support all formats.
