Not quite - I have converted all of my WMP music library at that rate - so bot WMA lossess and 128kbps MP3s. My workflow currently is to rip into WMA lossless and then convert to VBR 320 AAC for iTunes. Are you saying that in audio terms a 320 kbs VBR AAC file is equivalent to FLAC/ WMA lossless? If so, I can keep my current workflow - just convert my archive and use FLAC instead. Obviously re-ripping the 128 KBps MP3s. Thanks for the link - I'll check it out. And thanks for all the other replies ... I'm still cogitating!
