each to his own and all that, but i get tons of tracks sent to me from people and i send tons of tracks away myself, and like i said, me myself and 90% of all i know use an ipod, and i don't need a format that noone can play like they play all their other stuff. dont feel like encoding a cd to flac, that i'm gonna encode to a high bitrate mp3 anyways... it's not the question of cd or flac, it's the question of flac or mp3... and i think itunes is an incredible application for sorting and playing your music, and i don't use a PC either.. then again bullshit format is a harsh word i guess... each to his own and all that... you flac away! :) /f -- fenmark@gmail.com http://www.french.se/portfolio http://www.french.se/plod --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
