Of course if you're doing this, ALAC can be overkill for iPod use alone. Most headphones won't show up the difference between it and high bitrate mp3. ALAC also eats up the iPod batteries quicker. A dual FLAC/mp3 library would make a lot of sense. Backups should be off-site anyway. -- jaffacake ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jaffacake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3206 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47303 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
