Hey all --
I currently have a free version of realplayer & I have CD creater by Roxio... I am interested in storing lossless music on a new ipod touch (that I may purchase - I have a 100 dollar coupon for amazon.com).
I am an idiot when it comes to this stuff - and can't seem to find the lossless options on realplayer. I don't think they come with this version. Secondly, can lossless audio be stored on an ipod? If so, what formats?
What might be a better - cheap or free ripping software that will do lossless for the ipod? Is itunes - something I can rip my own cds with - or is this just a store to purchase music - and then rip the purchased music to the ipod? Again, excuse the ignorance.
One more - anyone know how many songs an 8 gig ipod would store in a lossless format? I figure it is only a matter of time before they come up with an ipod useable - jitter free solution... (yes I know about the wadia & the squeezebox etc...) and if I can store it lossless - why not? I would be ripping CDs.... Anyway, I have this 100 bucks burning a hole in my pocket - and I figured I could use it for something like this....thanks tim.
