It will drain battery life more than compressed music. Reason, more harddrive access. A FLAC file will have the harddrive spinning longer than an mp3 file that is smaller.
Because of this, pretty much any player will suffer reduced battery life for playing lossless over a lossy format (given the lossy compresses to a smaller file size). Above is regarding HD based devices. Not sure about flash. However 4GB of FLAC is almost not worth the effort ;) edit: Also I briefly looked into rockbox for my 4G iPod. From what I was reading it seems that tag based browsing is poorly supported and favors file based browsing, which is just not an option for me. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23046 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
