In Reply to: Lossless Compression vs. .WAV audio quality ? posted by AbeCollins on October 13, 2008 at 07:51:23:
...three years ago, I thought I could hear a difference between AIFF (WAV) and ALL on some recordings, particlarly older ones.
This was through Shure E5c earbuds, since I don't use my iPod on my main system. But I do use it on my smaller family room AV system.
I went back and re-recorded those same cuts after demagnetizing the discs and adjusting the computer processes to prioritize iTunes. That seemed to improve the quality enough so that I only use ALL now.
The issue for me isn't the cheap availability of hard discs, but the iPod memory max of 160Gb.
