Or use Ogg...
Authored by: funwithstuff on Feb 21, '03 10:42:21AM

Before I begin, I should say that I haven't used it, and the OS X tools don't (apparently) seamlessly plug in to iTunes yet. But, from what I do know of Ogg, one of the key selling points of the format is that the files are peelable. That means that you can reduce the size (and quality) of an Ogg file without resampling it. None of the extra quality loss you get from encoding twice, and it would solve the problem that this hint talks about quite nicely.

Maybe coming to iTunes (and iPod?) soon, maybe not.

Basically same size as a 320kbps MP3 but with no loss.

My new toy.

Now to re-rip all my albums...
