I am a lossless guy, because lossless preserves the best possible sound quality from my digital music collection.
One guy told me that his 4GB iPod Nano can only hold 150 lossless songs encoded with Apple Lossless, compared to the 1,000+ MP3s he could fit in the same space.
OK, it doesn’t matter, since I have a 120G iPod Classic.
Then, how to listen lossless music in iPod. I have 500G lossless music in my hard disk, which are FLAC or APE, two popular lossless formats. But what depresses me is that iTunes can’t import FLAC or APE music to iPod.
Here is my way, easy and effective.
Since iTunes allows you import CD into iPod, I can select your favorite FLAC or APE music and make them into CDs.Then I can easily import those CDs into iPod. Then I can either enjoy those lossless high quality music in my iPod or CD players.
Here I recommend Xilisoft CD Maker (Download Now for Free Trial), because it is more than your expects. It’s:
- CD Burner – burn any format audio (FLAC/APE/WAV/MP3,etc) to CD
- Convert among popular audio formats
- CD Ripper – extract music from CD and convert to FLAC/APE/WAV/MP3,etc
