[QUOTE="JeffL, post: 1633277, member: 341346"] I've just joined this forum and I can see that there was a previous thread on music files but I would like to ask advice on my specific situation. I am 67 years old and therefore my hearing is now not as acute as it once was and I am wondering if I am likely to benefit from changing the format of my music files or not? My music has been ripped from CDs to my iMac using iTunes. Some of the files are in Apple Lossless, some AAC and some MPEG. They all sound good to me when listening at my desk in front of the iMac using my 2 Edifier e10 speakers but I am not convinced I am hearing the best sound when I listen through my Sonos Play 3 speaker in a larger room using my iPad as a controller. So I am wondering if changing the file formats would be a wise thing to do or if doing that might be a backward step or a neutral result bearing in mind my age related hearing loss. Also could the fact that I only have one Play 3 be something to do with it, would two Play 3s make a big difference with a view to creating a better (wider) stereo effect? I am not a music or computer expert, I just learn what I need to learn as and when I need to, hence this request for your views. The types of music I mostly listen to are Popular and Country etc not Classical. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
