Just got an iTouch...

I just got an iTouch and started importing my CD library onto my MacBook as AIFF. I will be using my iTouch when traveling, in the office through a Tivoli PAL and at home trough a Tivoli Model One Table Radio. I will continue to play CDs through my Aura Note, and maybe connect my MacBook on the rare occasion - more likely just to listen to potential purchases through Amazon/iTunes or live performances on XPN.

My question is, is it overkill to import/store these as AIFF if my main goal is to listen through my iPod?

I just started and already have 60G worth of AIFF files, I'll have 1T+ before they are all loaded and I hate the idea of getting into external hard drives and back up hard drives for this much storage. Am I getting ahead of myself if my only goal is to listen via iPod???

a little more ditto... with the thought that EAC and some other ripping solutions allow you to rip two versions at the same time. You could then save the .wavs and ALAC encoded files, or rip as ALAC or FLAC and also 320kbps or even 192.

It adds a little to the ripping time

and certainly increases your disk requirements.

But if i thought i was ripping 1 TB of music i certainly wouldn't want to do it again.

and 1 TB of disk at 100$...

geez on this site

...that's like sales tax on a typical purchase

(ya like we pay sales tax :-) )
