I rip to WMA because they have the best lossless format, IMO. All my music is lossless.
And I know that itunes will convert all my songs, I did it a few months ago before I reformated. It takes forever and I hate itunes.
Is there a player that's similar in size from another manufacturer?
What's this linux for ipods business?
OGG is eleventy billion X better than WMA IMO. Convert one song from WAV (CD rip) into two files, one file being WMA 64kbps and an OGG file at Quality 1, then compare. The OGG file will be smaller and sound SIGNIFICANTLY better.
Why not compare lossless WMA to lossless OGG? OGG is lossless, right?

I don't believe you can get OGG as lossless, for my lossless formats, I use FLAC.
The ipod is not stupid because you ripped all your music to WMA and didn't know it couldn't play them.Originally posted by: Nebor

Why do you want lossless on a portable anyway, there isn't even a real line out, just convert to something that it can play and you can fit a lot more stuff on there.
But seriously, where did you send your nano off to upgrade the memory to 10 gigs?

My MP3 colletion is 10 GB. If I used lossless, it would eat my 250gb hard drive instantly, and I wouldnt have anything on my ipod....

Queue up all your WMA stuff to convert to Apple lossless and let iTunes run overnight. In the morning, you can play it all on the iPod at the same quality.
