[COLOR="Purple"]I am hoping youre not asking me for an audiophiles opinion on MP3s
From what I have read digital files can sound very very good... I thought the Apple headphones were acceptable but then I bought a pair of cheap but recommended new ones and OMG OMG OMG...
It also depends on the format the files were initially created in. Of course Apple wants you to use their Apple Lossless and many recommend AAC which is even higher... I am not sure if the player makes much of a diff as long as the player can recognize the format youve used...
OK, maybe a real techie can chime in here... [/COLOR]
