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.
