AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3
true enough you cant specify the bitrate in vbr (because, by definition, it is variable) bit if you set itunes at vbr highest quality you can approach 320 avg bit rate. i actually prefer using EAC with LAME or WAVPAC to get best results. 
AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3
Portugal11: What you are proposing is very cumbersome, but certainly possible. You will want to make sure that you have configured itunes to selectively synch to your ipod. the best way is probably to specify that itunes only synch "checked" files... 
AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3
I agree with Tvad that, if you are taking the sound from the earphone out of the ipod, you likely won't hear much of a difference b/w lossless and a 320VBR. On the other hand, if you take the sound from the line out (which makes a HUGE difference)...

"What's Your Best Price?"
A member on another forum site asked an honest question, check out his question and some of the responses. Is it because of the moderators here on Audiogon, or is it because the members here would not put up with it?Was I justified in giving my r...

Following up on prior post...Just did a major upgrade and moved into a new house. Anyone aware of a high quality audio person in NE Ohio that can be paid to help setup/tweak equipment that they did not sell? (Pls spare me the suggestion of talking... 
"What's Your Best Price?"
From the website www.howstuffworks.com:Car Selling Ad Terms*OBO - This means "or best offer," which tells the buyer that you are willing to consider offers below the price you listed.Source: Edmunds.comCome on guys, I don't care if you are from Ne... 
"What's Your Best Price?"
Some think that OBO means Or Best Offer, period. Irregardless of asking price. I know I've read previous threads on AudiogoN from those complaining about a seller selling an item for more than his asking price. If he clearly states 'OBO', and rece... 
Any experience with the new EMM CDSA SE ?
Just got my CDSA today. I have logged only 6-7 hours so far, so i don't think it would be right to offer any detailed comments. First impressions: Fit and finish is awesome. Substantial box; quality finish; silky smooth tray movement; somewhat lai... 
"What's Your Best Price?"
Bobgates:So far, not one person in this thread has reported an instance of actually closing a deal with a buyer who began the negotiation with "WYBP?" I would conclude, therefore, that any SERIOUS buyer would either accept the seller's ask, or acc... 
"What's Your Best Price?"
based on the weight of the evidence, i will concede that "moronic" is not the best way to describe the WYBP inquiry. "!neffective", "annoying," or just "lame" are better. 
"What's Your Best Price?"
i had no idea my post would generate such strong emotions! in fact, i have a very strong position on "what's your best offer" buyers -- i was just looking to see what others thought. i am decidedly in the camp that any buyer whose first question i... 
My Teres 350 is on the way
You are a lucky man, indeed. Was the 12-month delivery time due to your decision to wait for the new model, or do you think that Teres production is really that backlogged? It would need to be awfully good to wait that long!
