How to Customize the Encoder Settings in iTunes

You can customize the encoder settings in iTunes. You can change your encoder settings, quality settings, and other importing preferences before ripping an audio CD or converting a file in iTunes.

Choose iTunes→Preferences (Mac) or Edit→Preferences (Windows), click the Advanced tab, and then click the Importing tab.

The Importing preferences appear, allowing you to make changes to the encoding format and its settings.

From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song into and then select the settings for that format.

The Setting pop-up menu differs depending on your choice of encoder from the Import Using pop-up menu.

Click OK to accept changes.

After changing your importing preferences — and until you change them again — iTunes uses these preferences whenever it imports or converts songs.

AAC, MP3, AIFF, and WAV encoders let you customize the settings. The Apple Lossless encoder is automatic and offers no custom settings.
