RE: Importing music to iMac

You can leave the AIFF setting on Automatic, or since you're ripping CD's I would recommend:

Sample Rate: 44.100 KHz

Sample Size: 16-bit

Channels: Stereo

You are probably better off using Automatic or the settings above since a sample rate of 44.100 KHz will match the sample rate of the material on your music CD's. Once you have your music files 'ripped' at their native 44.1 KHz, you can use other means externally to upsample, either through various music players on the computer or in the Sony.

Just my 2-cents worth but do not rip your CD's at 48-KHz.
