That's exactly what I do with my 80GB iPod (which has too little capacity for my library, so a 160GB Classic is soon on its way). I sort of get around the conversion step by ripping everything in one step to both gapless FLAC (managed by SlimServer/Ubuntu) and gapless iTunes AAC (managed by iTunes/XP), which gives me lossless for my more critical listening environment at home and lossy for fitting on my portable player, which is almost always used in more challenging environments where higher quality playback would be wasted. Having my cake and eating it too :). -- Balthazar_B ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balthazar_B's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7366 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38195 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
