I go with a totally different solution. I do not need thousands of CDs on my iPod. Having access to them over time is great, but I don't listen to all my songs, artists, or even genres every day. I put everything in lossless and keep it in lossless. I then have a bunch of different playlists, or mini-libraries set up, and when I want to load different music onto my iPod, I just click a different set of playlists or albums, and it replaces them.
iTunes music for home and on the go?
How do folks manage your iTunes libraries so that you can have uncompressed files for the home rig and compressed files for the iPod? I've got 600+ CDs ripped (using Apple Lossless) on an external drive. What's the most sensible -- and easiest -- way to create compressed files to put some of this music on my iPod? (Assuming, that is, that that is the way to go.) Thanks.
