Hi,
Most pro’s use lossless now I presume? Don’t want to buy WAV as you can’t embed artwork etc easily so was looking at either good quality MP3 320kbps/Apple 256kbps or AIFF lossless. Is it really worth the extra for AIFF and will they work flawlessly in Rekordbox and Traktor (incase I move to Traktor in the future)?
I’m thinking of buying all future music in AIFF as when I do a remix, I will want the best quality possible for obvious reasons but don’t want to run into problems playing the AIFF’s back in Dj software.

Actually most Pros I know use mp3 or aac (mp4, aac, m4p, m4a,…).
When listening to music over a PA system blind tests have shown that people cannot hear any difference between a good mp3/aac and a lossless format (wav or aiff). That means 320kbs mp3 or 256kbps aac.
Of course it also depends on the encoding, but sources as Apple (iTunes), beatport or Amazon, seem to have excellent encoding.Now there could be 2 reasons you still want lossless:
1. You are an audiophile and have an audiophile sound system at home (and we are talking 100000 bucks of equipment or more). On such systems with High-End DAC you might actually hear a difference, if you have good ears and are below 40 years of age.2. You are using the tracks for production (and I do not mean simple remixes) and are cutting them apart where every wavesignal counts (since you are asking about it, I doubt you are able to do this yet).
For everything else mp3/aac is plenty enough.
What Terry_42 said!
One addition, it pays to always buy tracks in the highest possible quality (i.e. WAV or lossless). Then do any preparation you want to do (could be stuff like Platinum Notes) and then rip to MP3 or AAC yourself. That way you will always keep an original, full quality copy in some safe storage space. You can then also use the original WAV/Lossless versions in productions, remixes, mashups and such and only rip the end result to MP3.
If you start with MP3, then go to WAV (as will happen in most audio production software) and then bounce back to MP3, you will experience quality loss. Possibly to audible levels.
Another thing is that if you use WAV (with all it’s apparent shortcomings when it comes to tagging/art and such), there is no need to decompress anything on the fly. It is just played as is. As lossless compression is still compression, like MP3/AAC it still needs to be uncompressed. This will clearly add some processing load to your laptop. It could also interfere with “key lock” features that also need to real-time re-encode audio. With MP3 and “heavy” key locking going on, you will soon notice audible changes. A plug-in like Serato’s Pitch-N-Time claims time-stretching to extremes without audible effects.
With today’s storage prices (even for the much preferred SSDs) now at such levels that maintaining a manageable collection (say up to 1500 tracks) even in WAV format need not be a problem. So I’d say your optimal choice would be to buy original tracks in WAV format and then use them in AIFF for maximum compatibility. Apple’s lossless format ALAC (comparable to FLAC) is NOT supported by either RekordBox or Traktor!
More on topic:
Both Traktor and RekordBox do support AIFF. As we are big fans of using iTunes for collection management, AIFF is pretty much the choice to make as it’s supported by iTunes of course, unlike FLAC (which is also not supported by RekordBox, although it is supported by Traktor).Cues and such would be proprietary to the DJ software and never show in iTunes. There is RekordBuddy which lets you move cues and loops and such between DJ software though.
I personally think iTunes is the worst thing to ever come out of Cupertino, but … if used exclusively for DJ-ing purposes and tuned accordingly it does give you the tools needed to do collection management. Since it’s 100% supported by all serious DJ software (including RB DJ), it will be easy to use your collection in other software if you so choose (for example if you plan on playing on iPad-based platforms).
If you go the Pioneer route and plan to stay there, you could indeed do all you need in RB.
To be exact, when I talk about iTunes I am only talking about the software, not the store!
I only and exclusively use WAV/AIFF in the studio and when pre-mixing a remix. And many times I can get away with using mp3 for remixes also. So WAV is mainly for real studio work.
All my live work is donw with mp3/aac, since they are much smaller and fit on the small SSD more easy.
