I understand that the WAV and AIFF formats use little or no compression
and should therefore provide better sound quality. - But I don't know
how or when you use these formats (e.g., when ripping the CD to the
computer, or when downloading to the player, etc.?), or where you get
them. Also, would they work on both IPod and generic MP3 players?
