Why else do you think Apple is happy to sell iPods as MP3 players? It is because they play MP3 files. iTunes will import CDs and convert them to MP3 if you want. The default codec is aac

597527 2007-11-13 06:44:00 The ipod does no converting, why would it? itunes doesn't need to convert. Guess what, the ipod plays MP3's

Oh, well I dunno w.t.f. I was on about then, I was under the impression that the ipod had to have all the files converted to a specific format by itunes

597528 2007-11-13 06:47:00 It's only the iTunes music store that sells a majority of tracks as DRMd AAC files along with its DRM free 256kbps AAC files. A lot iPod users probably don't change or don't know that they can change the import codec preferences to MP3 rather than AAC. AAC is the better choice of the two. winmacguy (3367)
597529 2007-11-13 07:32:00 Man i mean no disrespect but Apple Ipods have bad sound quality since apple does not make sound cards, plus the earphones that come with it are like worst of the lot. JUST INSANE (6682)

597531 2007-11-13 07:58:00 You cannot tell the sound quality difference if you don't have good ears and a decent computer soundcard. JUST INSANE (6682)
597532 2007-11-13 07:59:00 You also need some good high bitrate, loseless audio music JUST INSANE (6682)
597533 2007-11-13 08:03:00 Oh and decent earphones like Shure E4C JUST INSANE (6682)
597534 2007-11-13 08:24:00 Hey Just Insane, you should try posting ALL of your comments in the ONE post.

I am well aware of the bit rate requirement for good sound in iTunes thanks.
