Oh No ! It sounds like we are in complete agreement...............Oh wait.........this isn't the audiophile section so it's OK if we agree :-) For me it becomes very difficult to hear diffs at 256VBR which is what I use for my Itouch. My 160GB Ipod classic has all lossless but with 160gb it's no prob. -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71602 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
