I think I have this right. I have a mac so I use apple lossless or aiff to rip to my hard drive. When I import to ipod all I have to to is change the format in preferences and that is the format that imports to ipod. I only have to remember to change it back to lossless in preferences before I rip a CD.
so it's pretty easy. I assume it's the same for windows Pat Farrell;139270 Wrote: > MikeGilpin wrote: > > Notwithstanding all the great reasons to rip to FLAC, I enjoy using > my > > iPod so much, I have not yet found enough of a problem with 320k MP3 > to > > justify re-ripping everything, and then double-ripping thereafter. > So > > handy to be able to use the same rips for both iPod and SlimServer, > do > > the playlist maintenance only once in iTunes, etc. > > There is no reasong to double rip, there are tons of flac2mp3 tools out > > there.
