Lossy is lossy, if I could use Ogg Vorbis over AAC or WMA I of course would but wouldn't use ropey old MP3 if the M$/Apple codec was superior in terms of "how much better does it sound vs how much smaller is it".

My main reason for buying the iPod was the fact that it was the only player offering 40 gigs at the time, it was one of the smallest and the looks came last. Being a "lossless snob" I've got a collection of over 900 gigabytes of lossless FLAC files on my Slimserver, and even encoding into AAC Lossy @ 128 I cannot get all my music on my iPod. But I've accepted that 40 gigs of 128kbps lossy is acceptable for portable usage, that there is the gap problem between trakcs and anyway, why worry as I have a iPod with white headphones like everyone else....BAAAAARRRRR !!! :D In fact maybe I'm the black sheep of the family. At least I own my music, it's lossless, it was ripped with EAC and when something bigger/better comes along I can just run a script and be ready to roll with another format/bitrate :D -- Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=213 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17980 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
