from reading a ipod shuffle post i see that someone comments that wav loseless suck, is that true or what> considering it is "loseless", how does it compare to md sp or 320kb mp3's?

Also, since there are several lossless formats to choose from for various platforms, the usage of WAV files is generally unwarranted. |

Heres what the suffle does support:MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Music Store, M4A, M4B, M4P), Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4) and WAV |
