Yep. Think about it this way, to play 5 minutes of audio with an mp3 you have to read about 5 MB of data from the disk. To play the same amount of time you have to read 50MB of data from the disk for lossless. So the disk is active 10x as much for the same amount of play time. NOTE: numbers mention above are very rough figures just to make a point, do not take them as exact ;) -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16240 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
