- Brian Eno
- In his first proper solo release since 1996's relatively cold "The Drop," Brian Eno has constructed a whimsical and ecclectic masterpiece which is arguably one of the year's strongest records thus fa
- Amon Tobin
- The genius is in the beats. Amon Tobin creates fantastic, groovy beats behind beats. "Supermodified" rolls through your expectations of breakbeat music, and turns them up a bit. It's a mellow album, p

- These guys know how to put on a live show, and whomever recorded this knows how to capture one. Rock Spectacle is one of the warmest-sounding recordings I've ever heard, and totally fills a room at a
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
- U2
U2's latest entry is a mostly underwhelming collection of songs that does very little to sound any different from its equally pedestrian predecessor, 2000's "All That You Can't Leave Behind." While

iTunes: Quick Change Song Formats
Sunday, October 7th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
iTunes handles all kinds of tasks from organizing your music library to updating your iPod or iPhone software. It also converts music files to your preferred audio format with a single mouse click.
Here’s how:
- Find a song in your iTunes library that you want to convert to your default audio format. In my case, that’s AAC.
- Control-click, or right-click, the track and choose Convert Selection to AAC. If you prefer a different audio format, like MP3 or or AIFF, the contextual menu will show that format instead of AAC.
 iTunes offers quick access to its audio format conversion feature. |
|---|
I use this trick when I have an audio file format that I want to convert to AAC from another audio format and I don’t want to take the time to launch another application to handle the conversion for me. iTunes always handles the job for me without any hassle.
 iTunes supports several file import formats. |
|---|
If you want to import or convert audio files using a different format, iTunes can manage that for you, too. Just change your default import option:
- While in iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- Click the Importing tab.
- Choose the audio format you want to use from the Import Using pop-up menu.
