Re: For the audiophiles looking for convenience?

AIFF will be faster. Lossless compression uses the computer's computation cycles to make a smaller archive of the tracks on the compact disk. So indeed Apple Lossless will take longer. You can then change AIFF to Apple Lossless with some sort of application (I don't know which one to recommend). Most people transcode to lossless compression overnight during sleep to save time. There's many ways to do what you need. Personally I prefer FLAC, but that's because I am a GNU/Linux-Windows geek.
