Hi guys, A client of mine got a mac to use as a senterpiece of his music system. His first order of business was to rip his massive cd collection into apple lossless .m4a format onto a 1 tb network hard drive, and this he set out to do with a vengeance. About 400 cd's in, ITunes suddenly refused to import any more cd's. He has it coming up and asking if he wants to play or import. Now when he chooses import the disc just sits there. When he chooses play the cd plays just fine. He's taken the machine into the apple store and they are replacing the optical drive, but I suspect this is a software problem, and both of us are thinking that when the machine comes back it will still refuse to import cd's, though it will play them just fine.
Naturally I suggested installing max, and this we did. Then during the set up of max I discovered that max doesn't rip to m4a. Supposing his computer comes back with a bumb ITunes, is there a way to convert m4a files to other formats? Is there another lossless format that ITunes will read without a lot of palaver? We'd like to convert the already ripped discs to a new format and save the chore of rewripping them, then re-librafy the files and use Max to import the rest of his cd's into his ITunes library. How realistic is this? Just so you know, he is running all the latest updates, including the latest ITunes. Direction and suggestions would be very much appreciated.
