Need help selecting portable mp3 player

Under "iPod Accessories," on the left hand side, click on "Extras." The Apple iPod Camera Connector. I'd give a direct link, but WebObjects likes to expire them fairly quickly.

...Isn't lossless ~700?

A CD is like 1400 kbps.

No, the opposite of talking about yourself, is talking about others. The opposite of being nice, is being mean. You weren't very good at matching things when you were a kid, were you?

Nope.

It's true. He sucked at it.

Lossless is ~700, cunt. I don't care about the original wave files, which are 1411.

I just checked---FLAC is 705.6

I win.

Go with the one Mike posted, the Apple Camera Connector, not this one. The problem with this is that I've heard it can be much slower in transfer rate than the Apple one, and I believe it is more expensive.

Just saying that any amount of compression, err, I mean lossless compression but that's only half the bitrate (so it may be free but it's not really lossless, right?) is still less than the original. And therefore sucks. Hell, even CDs are showing their age. We need a new format. And a deal from the record companies to get the new stuff at cost if we own the old CD. As if.

Did you get a prize, Rich?
