Apple Lossless Encoder will condense your song to about half its uncompressed size.
4. MP3, AAC, or Apple Lossless
To import the song into iTunes, just drag and drop it into your iTunes library. Now you have a decision to make: Do you want to convert the song to a smaller format? You could keep it as an AIFF file, but those files are huge. If you use Apple Lossless, you’ll preserve the sound quality, but your file won’t be as small as it would be if you convert it to AAC or MP3. There’s no harm in trying different compression settings - to change the file compression in iTunes, go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced and click the Importing tab. You can modify the compression settings here. To convert a file, select it in the iTunes library, then go the Advanced > Convert Selection To (the format you decided on in the Preferences). But whatever you choose, the end result will be a FairPlay-free song.
