Compare CD audio quality with that of compressed audio (Mac users)

Import your favorite song in both CD audio quality and compressed audio quality, and feel the difference on your Walkman.
If you usually import AAC or MP3 files at a low bitrate such as 128 kbps and 192 kbps, you can distinctly feel the difference by importing in Apple Lossless. However, due to their large file size, fewer songs are transferable to your Walkman.
Follow the instructions below to import in Apple Lossless your favorite songs already transferred to your Walkman in AAC or MP3 and compare them on your Walkman.
