If you're playing it out of your zune and listening to it over earbuds, you're wasting your space going with lossless formats.Mod_Man_Extreme wrote: Flash is 100% shit in my opinion, I'll take a nice hard disk player over that any day; plus, I only hear my mp3's in 320kbps or on lossless formats.
So, should I sell my Zune?

Re: So, should I sell my Zune?
I rip all my stuff in lossless and use my Zune for portable music on the stereo, in the car and all sorts of other stuff so lossless formats really come in handy and sound great on all my equipment.Limewater wrote:If you're playing it out of your zune and listening to it over earbuds, you're wasting your space going with lossless formats.Mod_Man_Extreme wrote: Flash is 100% shit in my opinion, I'll take a nice hard disk player over that any day; plus, I only hear my mp3's in 320kbps or on lossless formats.
Also, I can't stand earbuds; I'll use them from time to time but I'm always using quality full ear/noise reduction headphones when I hear my music.

Re: So, should I sell my Zune?
Again, though, your bottleneck is still the Zune's amp, unless you've modded it to have a true line-out that bypasses the amp. There's not really much point in storing lossless audio if you're going through the Zune amp. Especially if you're playing it over a car stereo.Mod_Man_Extreme wrote: I rip all my stuff in lossless and use my Zune for portable music on the stereo, in the car and all sorts of other stuff so lossless formats really come in handy and sound great on all my equipment.
I say this not as an audiophile, or stereo snob, because I'm not one.

The Zune has a true Line out via it's proprietary Zune USB connector on the bottom which is quite nice, so I'm covered in that situation and have very nice audio when using my Zune dock and dock AV's.Limewater wrote:Again, though, your bottleneck is still the Zune's amp, unless you've modded it to have a true line-out that bypasses the amp.
