OK now I really need some "new hope"
Just when I thought I had struck an acceptable compromise by using Apple's "lossless" format instead of insisting !!
on the purest WAV files, guess what?
I now figure out that my first generation, barely used, iPod WILL NOT read my iTunes library, even though I have updated the software?!?!?!?
So now I am really going to put my foot down:
I dont care about 800,000,000 songs
I will never believe that the latest MP3 algorithims are indistinguishable from master tapes
I dont want big brother Apple telling me how many times I can duplicate their allegedly lossless file, even though I just paid $.99 cents for it
I just want this:
10 CDs? 20 CDs? MORE than enough!
Perfect, "bit for bit" read at 1x speed, EAC copied WAV files, PLEASE
TAGGING from the internet in this format, so my audiophile music says more than track 1, track 2 etc
LINE LEVEL outputs from the iPod so I can use it with my GRADO battery powered headphone amp
and DECENT battery life (while playing WAV files) with NO hard drive skipping
Is There Any Hope?
