As said here: if space is not a problem, just copy the wav files to the iPod. For me, I break down my files a little different. For general MP3, I really don't like to be below 192. Then again, hard to argue with free sometimes. For my more favorite stuff, I will just copy the wav file off of CD onto my desktop with IsoBuster, then rename them myself, and copy to iPod. For the really high-end-gee-thats-an-amazing-recording stuff, I upsample the 44/16 wav files to 96/16. The sound is just truly amazing.

A few comments.

jwoody: you mentioned that at high bitrates (above 190) the music tkaes on a different sound problem. Music on a CD is at 44K/16bit. When an MP3 is ripped, it is converted, filtered, and compressed to make the file smaller. Depending on the bitrate, sometimes there are math errors and portions of the music are literally just dropped. You might try a higher (or lower) bitrate and listen with headphones if you can. 320, to me, sounds pretty close. Not totally correct, but close!

Also: jwoody: YOU DA MAN! You mentioned turntables. Yeah!!!!

And vanblah: I agree with everything you said. Everything. Great post.
