Here is the test you have all been waiting for. Well it took me about 24 hours anyway. I won't be listening to DSOTM for a long while after a whole day of nothing but that. AIFF's battery time was 7 hours and 30 minutes and AL's time was 6 hours. Pink Floyd's DSOTM was ripped to AIFF and AL and iPod was set to repeat all until low battery shutdown. iPod was fully charged before each test. Headphone used was Koss KSC50 (didn't want to tied up my Ety 4S
) and volume level was at 50% mark.
Is the 90 min battery hit worth it? YES! AL sounded identical to AIFF in my tests. For those of you filling your iPod with AIFF/WAV, convert your files to AL for 50% increase in space on your iPod.
