Hey there, i just bought the full quality version of David Chesky's album which is 8467kbps, 24bit, 176k samplerate and when i check it in iTunes to transfer it to my ipod classic or iphone4 nothing happens. Or well, it adds 0,03gb to the audio but the actual music doesnt appear on the ipod. Anyone experienced this or know how to fix it?

Do iPods even support 24bit files?

Apparently no... I think 16 bit is max.
The question is, is it even worth playing higher bitrate music on an iPod with its somewhat inferior dac?

ipods dont support those samplerates. its that simple

I believe the song is in the format of flac. Just listening to it on your laptop with a good amp/dac. That's the only thing u can do.

Convert the files to Apple Lossless 16bit at 44.1khz using dbPowerAmp and then sync them over to your iPod through iTunes.

I'm not too sure about home systems... but portable systems, I don't think I could detect any noticeable difference using the same album encoded to 16 and 24 bits respectively.

Thanks for all the replies. The file format i wave sound, so it can be used by apple products, and the difference between 16 and 24 bit can actually be heard, but mostly when I'm using my speakers (Concert size) or when using my custom iem's out of the amp that i use for my speakers. 
But i guess 16 bit will suffice for portable use

The files are .WAV?
iPods don't support .wav

 

[VictorHalgaard]

Yes they do, I've been using WAV as my main file format for the last 6 years I've had my ipods.

:-/ I sold my Iphone 4 and bought a HTC desire.. now the HTC desire is broken, I'm back on my N95.. which ironically has much better sound output then both the newer so called better phones lol.

 

[VictorHalgaard]

Strange, my iphone does a heck of a good job to my taste, and gives the advantage of being able to bypass the internal amp with a LOD cable...
It sucks that you HTC broke though, the older HTCs I've owned before seemed extremely sturdy.

I stand corrected. Glad you got the album to play on your iPod.
