Ok, I have many songs that are WMA Lossless. Now, when I put these onto my Zune 120, are they still lossless? I know I have saw that some players can only handle 320 kbps, and lossless files are normally 900-1300 kbps. Does my Zune 120 downgrade the file to 320 when I sync it on? I do know that my songs are around 60 MB on the computer but then are only around 20 MB after they are synced to my Zune. I can tell this by looking at the device song list on the software. Does this mean that I am only listening to 320 kbps WMA files on my Zune? Are they no longer lossless?

WMA Lossless Question
You have to tell the Zune not to compress your WMA lossless files when you sync. Connect the zune, go into settings, and you will see where it asks you what you want to do--if I remember right, click on "Convert only files not compatible" or something like that, and it will leave your lossless files intact. I did the same thing you did, and I wiped the Zune and re-synced so I'd have lossless.

Do they sound any different? If you hadn't checked the filesizes would you have even noticed?
