I am getting a pair of UE-11 Pros, and since reading much about these IEM's and how much you can really hear everything with them, I am considering ripping everything to ALAC on my IPOD (I currently use 256 AAC for good recordings, 320 AAC for non mastered recordings).
I currently have a 5.5g 80 gb. I travel a fair amount for work, and I love having a lot of my music collection with me. You never know what you will be in the mood for.
If I converted stuff I on my Ipod to ALAC, I would cut my music over 50%.
I don't have a problem doing this in the name of SQ, but with the newer classic, I would be able to keep 60%-70% of what I currently have on my Ipod at lower bitrates. My Ipod needs a little consolidating (but not too much), so this is not necessarily a bad thing.
I really looked into getting a refurbed 160gb, but a lot of the issues with ALAC files skipping have made me very gun shy. My question is, for those that have the newer 7g models, has this issue been corrected? I understand it is a buffer cache issue, and I know apple did nothing about the issues with the 6g classics, so I am now hoping it is corrected in the 7g classics. Your input is appreciated.
