[QUOTE="Scott R, post: 346805, member: 28371"] As far as compression, formats and lossless talk, I'm a bit uneducated. My albums were imported into iTunes with AAC encoder and 128 kbps since that was the default. With the extra space on the external drive, I know I can handle higher quality recordings, but could you explain the difference between the AAC, Apple Lossless, etc? And would I be able to tell the difference between 128kbps and 192? Also, I'm guessing I'd have to re-record all my CDs into iTunes if I was to get a higher quality? It seems the majority of people favor the external and I picked up a great compact drive that is 160GB, but compact enough to carry around with the laptop. Sorry for showing my lack of computer skills so blatantly! Thanks [/QUOTE]
