APE to WMA Losseless to ALAC

[thereeper]

I'm converting my collection to WMA losseless and then to Apple lossless.

When I select "windows media audio 9.1 losseless", why does it have quality settings if it is lossless (VBR quality..)?

Thanks.

That probably adjusts the compression. Higher compressions mean the file is smaller, but CPU usage is higher when decoding. Lower compression means lower CPU usuage but a larger file. Picking a medium value would probably be the best idea.

Yes, Zip has different compression levels as well.
