Whatever the codec, you don't want to do it more than once. And, as you say, hard drives are cheap.
Also, I'm sorry to say that it may not be only the old stereo components and sub-optimal room that are limiting how you perceive the sound. If you bought those components 20-25 years ago, then you're probably old enough to have diminished hearing, and quite possibly enough that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between lossless and 192kbps WMA even on a better system. It sucks, but that's life. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91196 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
