![]() ![]() Hence, I opted for two music folders – once folder for FLAC files and one for mp3 files for the iPod on my computer. Finally, I switched back to the Apple software last year because the battery life with Rockbox suffers greatly. I used Rockbox on my iPod for more than a year (b/c of my desire to use FLAC files). Rip you CD’s at 256k AAC or MP3 and be done with it. AND BESIDES, the audio environment in a car is so bad that what even if the difference WAS significant, it would not be audible in a car, especially on a stock audio system in a Toyota.ĭo yourself a favor. I’m sorry, but the difference is SO insignificant, its ridiculous. But for the sake of, I can’t head much of a difference, if any between a 300kbps MP3 and an Apple Lossless or WAV file on an iPod or Creative Zen and I’ve used a dozen different headphones and $2000+ headphone amps. I can clearly hear the differences between different tube brands and types and so on. My opinion only, obviously but I’m a BIG believer in high priced power cords, interconnect and wire. The hardware inside an iPod or any other DAP is inferior in terms of being source revealing. But really the honest truth is that that the iPod is incapable of revealing much (if any) difference between a maximum quality MP3 or AAC and a Lossless file. You falling for the FLAC thing? If you really want to use an lossless file format with your pod then use Apple Lossless. Rockbox replaces the Apple iPod operating system so basically the only thing left that’s Apple is the actually hardware. But, given the upside of carrying a lossless music library of all of my favorite LP's (CDs) and singles around on one device is just too delicious to pass up any more, I think. Lastly, are there any studies that have been conducted on how long the lifespan on an iPod is? I have had this idea in my head for several years now but I've never taken the plunge because I'm not much of a risk taker. Will that act as my Itunes to move the FLAC files back and forth from my back up drive to the iPod?Īlso, on average, how many FLAC 'hours' of music will fit on a 30 GB iPod? How that will work with the iPod, I'm unclear. Not sure of the cost or how much is involved with this (any advice would be appreciated).Īs I understand it, to use FLAC files with iPod I will need to use the program Rockbox. For the car (I have an '06 Camry) I will need to get some converter device to hook up to my stereo system, I assume. Then, I want to be able to move these FLAC files to an iPod to be listened to at work or in my car. I want to rip my cds (some 300 or so) via EAC, convert the wav's to FLAC files and save them to my back up drive (160 GB). But, before I make the plunge I wanted to lay out how all of this will work (at least, as I picture it) and please correct me if some of my assumptions are wrong. ![]() Lately, I've been very tempted to finally give in and get an iPod. Sorry for the poor subject title of this thread but I wanted to get the right peoples attention. ![]()
