You're wrong on both counts. Besides AAC, iPods also play MP3, WAV, AIFF, and Apple Lossless files. AAC is the successor to MP3, which is also proprietary BTW, and was actually developed by Dolby. I load a lot of torrents in lossless format (flac, shn, ape et al and they aren't recognized by Itunes operating system. I had to hack it by downloading an alternative rebuild that handles many formats without translation!!
I also have a lot of files in FLAC and SHN (but not Ape, because that's Windows-only crap). Still, I prefer to make an AAC copy for my iPod so I can take better advantage of the device's space. Yes it's correct there are other formats an ipod uses but to play other than APPLE's lossless format requires translation to AAC and it's not used much it the bit-torrent community. That seems pointless and eats up too much storage space. I got a Prince show in APE format and that's why I listed it. test | |

As far as storage space goes, we're looking at it from opposite directions. You don't want to make an extra, compressed copy to save space on your computer, but your music files take up a lot more space on your iPod. OTOH, I convert to AAC and archive the lossless files to disc so I save space on both my computer and my iPod. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |
