Yes I know thank you - would prob convert into apple lossless on my computer first. It's just it would mean the difference between getting an 80gb ipod to play mp3s or a 160gb ipod to play in lossless!

[slim] Flac On Ipod in Cars
I currently have all my cds burnt onto laptop in flac format. I would like to be able to play these in my car so the obvious choice is an ipod and then connect this to a car stereo. Is it worth keeping everything in flac to play in my car or would I really not notice any difference if they're in mp3? I love flac and really notice a difference on my stereo in the house - just wondered if anyone else has experience of playing flac in cars and if you can still hear the difference.
