Go with lossless. Even on an Ipod you can hear the difference between lossless and MP3. Hard drive space is cheap and time is valuable. Do it right the first time.
Just got an iTouch...
I just got an iTouch and started importing my CD library onto my MacBook as AIFF. I will be using my iTouch when traveling, in the office through a Tivoli PAL and at home trough a Tivoli Model One Table Radio. I will continue to play CDs through my Aura Note, and maybe connect my MacBook on the rare occasion - more likely just to listen to potential purchases through Amazon/iTunes or live performances on XPN.
My question is, is it overkill to import/store these as AIFF if my main goal is to listen through my iPod?
I just started and already have 60G worth of AIFF files, I'll have 1T+ before they are all loaded and I hate the idea of getting into external hard drives and back up hard drives for this much storage. Am I getting ahead of myself if my only goal is to listen via iPod???
