alac definitely supports 24/96, and ipads and ipods don't.

The uselessness of said setup depends on the end user, I'd think, since I find the 24/96 files quite useful, even tho I can't put them directly on my portable setup.

Yes, it does. It does not stop there either, as it does 24-bit /192kHz as well.
The iPods and hence I assume also the iPod do support a bit depth of 24-bit, but not a sampling rate above 48kHz.

I quote you, in a friendly way.

.
Just to say that iTunes is fully capable of encoding 24-bit/96kHz and even 24-bit/192kHz files to ALAC.

If this works well, the chances of me buying one will go up a great deal. As it stands right now, I have no interest.

this would mean you could hook the ipad up to a usb dac like the pico? That would be cool, the iphone/ipods should do that too!

 

[grawk]

I'd guess that the iphone/ipt will be able to do the same, at least once os4 is out

Here's my way around this by using my ipad to control a mac mini connected to a Havana dac.

I use it to control my Airport Express using the Remote software. Also, with logmein, I can control my PC and Airfoil to get audio to my AE from any program. I use Rhapsody quite a bit and the Logmein interface makes it possible.

Hey Pepsi. This one is for you!

This has been bugging me because it should be simple and obvious, yet I am still dumbfoiled. Sometimes when I select an album's song in the iPod app, the album art enlarges to fill the entire screen. Other times, I select an album's song within the square song list (with all the other albums in view behind--this is with "albums" viewing option selected at the bottom of the screen), and the song list stays within the square without the list or the album art filling the entire screen. I generally prefer the latter, but please tell me what makes the difference. Don't make me e-mail Steve Jobs.

Not sure if anyone uses Rhapsody, but they had a new release about a week ago that allows the user to save playlists for offline play. I think this will be beneficial for the wifi version of the iPad since you can now listen to Rhapsody files when you are out of wifi range. I have read somewhere that they are going to try to add individual album downloads (which you can obviously do now within playlists) later in the summer.

For those that own they iPad, what are your favorite iPad apps so far?

 

[bigshot]

Favorite apps... Comic Reader Mobi (plus Digital Comic Museum), Art.Authority, FreeBooks, and eBay & Pandora (the iPad app is better than the web interface on both of these.)

Anyone get one with 3g? How are the speeds? I'm also curious whether netflix works over 3g.
