I don't have an iPod yet, so I don't know how iTunes handles them. But I have all my music backed up at 320Kbps MP3, so the average file size is about 10mb a song. Does iTunes al…

One more thing. iTunes will allow me to put MP3's on an iPod right? I use MP3 because I can take it anywhere, I don't want to rerip 300 albums in AAC just to use an iPod.

The iPod plays MP3's, AIFF, WAV, Apple Lossless, AAC, Protected AAC, and MPEG4 & H.264 video (5th Generation Only). I don't believe you can lower the bitrate for transfer to y…

iTunes can re-encode to a lower bitrate on the fly if you have an iPod Shuffle, which leaves only one copy of each song on your computer. Otherwise, you can re-encode the music to …

Well cool, because I was actually thinking a Shuffle would be about right for me.

It bugs me that some people seem to have this impression that AAC is some bizarre non-standard iPod-only codec and therefore continue to use MP3s at ridiculously high bitrates to k…

AAC is, however, not supported on many platforms, much like Sony's proprietary ATRAC3 system. Not that there is any problem with AAC, particularly if all of your hardware is Mac, …

There is absolutely no difference between burning a CD/re-encoding and simply converting directly from AAC to MP3. Save yourself the blank CDs.

Indeed. My bad. Still, so long as people insist on using old technology, new technology will be slow to be widely supported. It's kind of a chicken/egg thing - many people won't …

AAC-128 is for the proverbial birds. The sound quality is definitely lower than CD-quality. Can you hear it when you're walking around with your iPod? Probably not. But if you'…
