heynessone@yahoo.comThe real question for anyone making decisions about audio codec is 'where are you listening to this music?' If you are walking around town with your ipod, driving in your car, sitting on an airplane, or otherwise generally in transit I don't believe that you will be able to discern the difference between AAC and AIFF. Most folks are listening on headphones that wouldn't allow you to hear the details that exist in a well recorded and mixed full-code audio stream. Certainly the included ipod headphones don't. It is true that Itunes (and downloadable audio formats for that matter) is starting to take it's place as a primary listening format in some circles. IF you are one of the smaller percentage that is listening on high quality equipment in your home then you could potentially hear the difference with the lossless format -- although if you are listening to current 'pop radio' hits only, they have taken any dynamic guesswork out if it for you and it will most likely sound exactly the same on just about any system. If you are grabbing the pod and running off to the gym. . forget it. Just enjoy the portability. hh - nyc
