I have used the Lossless and the regular WAV. The Lossless actually take about 2/3 of the space of the original. It does remove "redundant" information from the original, but it is far better than MP3. I bought two external hard drives, one is used for my 60G I-pod Photo using the Lossless encoder. The other one is used for my office system using the WAV encoder. Please be advised that you can only use the Lossess or the uncompresed (WAV or AIFF)with the cds that you import, if you buy music from I-Tunes you can only use the ACC encoder. I suggest that you record the same song twice, one with the Lossless and one with AIFF or WAV, listen to them for a while, then decide before you start importing you cd collection.

"Discerning customers and audiophiles want true CD audio, and now iTunes can give you that quality with the new Apple Lossless encoder. You’ll get the full quality of uncompressed CD audio using about half the storage space. You can copy music in this format onto your iPod or iPod mini, to take perfect audio wherever you go."
Can anyone explain this technology and is it a true statement that all of the sound information encoded on a CD can now be downloaded to an iPod and replayed with that same information and quality???? Or is this just hype and misleading info??
