Hey Dave,
Yes sure, mp3 files are larger than apples compressed format, but so what.
I have 3365 songs so far all on mp3 and still 23 gigs free space on my 40 gb
ipod.
I like mp3 because it's format independent and can play on both apple and
Microsoft players, this way
in the future I don't have to retranscode my music if I do buy new
technology or want to share a song
with a friend.
Plus I use higher than 128 mp3 for better quality, space hasn't been an
issue for me yet. And with 60 gb
and bigger ipods and mp3 players coming out, I doubt I need to worry about
efficiency.
I think that more an issue for people using the smaller nano and other RAM
players.
Thanks,
AnthonyR.
