I'm afraid I don't even understand what the question is. Are you asking something about hi-res formats vs. CD? Do you want to know if we rip CDs and encode with lossy codecs for our libraries? - I encode only with Flac. Disk space is cheap and I hope to never have to rip my library a second time. I can convert those Flac files to just about any other format I like - uncompressed, lossless, or lossy. There's just very little reason to go to all that work and then encode using a lossy codec. Do you want know if we _listen_ to any lossy codecs, such as Internet radio? - Yes. Lot's of great content is out there to be found and I'm not a big enough audio snob to avoid it just because the audio quality isn't ideal. I also stream my music library transcoded to MP3 at 192kbps from my home SlimServer to my office and I own an iPod on which I use MP3. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43910 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
