Apple takes the music whether it be mp3, aac or wav and compressed it into Apple Lossless and sends that to the other device which decompresses it. See this article http://www.macworld.com/article/1030806/000212.html

I was browsing around and found KEXP. They stream a lossless 1.4Mbit signal . Sounds really good! KEXP 90.3 FM Uncompressed Stream Here is a sample playlist 12:45AM Explosions In The Sky What Do You Go Home To? (Mountains Mix)All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone [Disc 2] Released: 2007...

I use to be a big in-ear headphone guy but my commute has gone from 90 minutes to 9. My trusty superfi 5 pros also broke recently so I just bought the best available option which was a pair of e110s. I haven't critically listended to them because I've been putting my enegeries into a tube amp...

After a couple of days I have to say the audio quality is better than my old 5g. Line out isn't bad either. One thing, certain videos still crash on me.

so looks like best buy has tons, wasn't happy about paying tax though. Oh and I am typing this on my touch while listening to music

Thanks, I used amazon to buy some of her songs. can't beat 89 cents and drm free

I just ordered a iPod touch, What

Karma was one of the best players but the HDD failure rate was high.
