I encoded my songs in AAC @ 224kbps. I have encoded 581 songs for now, some of these "songs" being hour long dj sets. It amounts to 5,79 GB. I'm wondering if I'm not going overboard here. Maybe I'm loosing diskspace for nothing. I'm not even sure I could hear the difference between a song encoded in AAC @ 224kbps or @ 192kbps, or even @ 128kbps. I'll wait till I get my good headphones.

I think Boris is using 320Kbps WMA for all of his songs, and he has classical music which is very long.

Man, I do not look forward to re-ripping all of my songs to take advantage of the larger-capacity players that weren't around when I first ripped them...

I haven't ripped my classical nor my jazz yet. I briefly compared a techno song ripped @ lossless, @ 320Kbps and @192Kbps with my Sony headphones. And I admit couln't hear the difference. But my Sony's are not great cans. When I'll get my Sennheisers, I'll do some serious testing.Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – LessingComment

Isn't this about what users want? I love that feature, Imran expressed interest, and I'm sure many others would too.
Some people might want to do something any number of stupid and inefficient ways. Luckily for them they can buy Windows XP Home ediition.
Lossless for an mp3 player is silly. None of the devices for sale are really hi-fi enough to warrant it.
On the other hand, if you are using Airport Express to play your stuff through your rack system, it would be worth it.Only feebs vote.Comment

I know, I was just comparing the sound quality. Right now, I'm using AAC @224Kbps.Lossless for an mp3 player is silly.

It is far more efficient to drag an single MP3 file to the device icon than to open iTunes and transfer it from there. So when downloading individual files, clearly that is preferrably."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Auto sync sucks. I use manual sync. Why should I keep my music on my hard drive?Originally posted by Agathon

So you can play it on your computer while you drink coffee? Stream it wirelessly to your 1000 watt stereo down the hall. Share your music between more than one ipod... the list is endless.Only feebs vote.Comment

You can't do that by plugging your iPod into your computer? And I don't need to share my music with more than one iPod. I can't fill one.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.

You mean you handpick all your songs? I plan to rip all my music on my computer. Its about 400 albums and counting. Needless to say, all this won't fit on my Mini. And there's no way in hell I'm handpicking all this. So I'll set up a couple of smart playlists specifically for my Mini. With smart playlists, the possibilities are endless.I use manual sync.Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – LessingComment

I burn the album to the hard drive and then send it right to the iPod. I don't understand why I can't go from CD to iPod, but c'est la vie.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
