iPod help needed...

I recently picked up a 40G iPod and am in the process of importing some cd's of mine.

I am using the Apple lossless compression, thinking that would give me the best, near cd quality sound for playback.

Am I correct in using this choice?

Also, if my calculations are somewhat accurate it seems this compression will only allow for about 100 or 110 cd's of music. Yes, that is perhaps 1,500 to 1,700 songs, however that is a FAR cry from 70,000 songs as advertised.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks for all of the responses. I posted the questions just after I received the iPod... easier to ask than read the maual, eh? :) Anyhow, I didn't realize you can load many albums into iTunes and then "select" which artists, playlists, etc. to load onto the iPod. Very nice. Also, it seems even with lossless format I will be able to fit about 1,400 songs. That should be quite enough, knowing I can cycle through various artists from the iTunes database I have loaded onto the computer.

I am still trying to compare the AAC versus the Lossless format...

has anyone else tried Grado SR-325's on an iPod yet? *grin* you are in for a treat!
