I have a lot of CDs that I've ripped to WMA Lossless the Sony re-encoded the files to 320kbps because it is assuming these are protected files. Sony (pay attention now) these are not original protected files they are compressed from uncompressed lossless files. Why would you make this assumption ? Some of us really don't give a crap about downloaded music. Well , enough of my rant . I ended up re-ripping the already burned Bobcatted (another story, another time) CDs to wav files in WMP11 & then re-syncing the Sony. I ended up w/ 23 albums worth of music on my player. While the 320kbps files were ok, they didn't sound as good as the same WMA lossless files on my Zune. The Sony's superior sq re-established itself once I changed the files back to lossless. I would imagine that the compressed lossless would sound just fine on the Sony. (I do have to admit that all the album information tagging you have to do when you rip to wav is a royal pita)
