Willie, I have a large lossless .wav music server file library. Do you know an easy way to get itunes to pick the .wav files up and auto convert files to compressed format for synching with an Ipod? Can Itunes do the conversion needed on teh fly a... 
CD Tweeks...Improve Ripped SQ?
GEoff, maybe.We'll find out when you actually present some real scientific evidence of anything having to do with sound quality and I then fortify my position without considering the evidence. Otherwise, I will reserve my right to express my opini...

I've ripped to .wav from various CD drives on various laptops over the last 3-4 years or so using basic Windows Media player (using highest sound quality setting to minimize any errors) and have not had any issues.If teh CD looks dirty, as used CD...

LOUSY SOUND AT LIVE CONCERTS
I saw Paul McCartney at FedEx field in DC a couple years back and scored seats front and center, right in the audio "sweet spot". It was pretty close to perfection. Demonstrated to me that modern NFL football stadiums can be quite good concert ven...
