BTW: I was able to burn the "protected" (?) AAC MP3 file on a CD to play in my X3, the same disc as I had other songs. Doesn't sound really bad, just not as good as I think it should compared to other MP3's I've burned at higher bit rates. (logical, huh?)
Is 192kbps the highest rate an iPOD can do? I don't have 10,000 songs I would want to put on it so I could afford larger files for better sound quality.
(Gee, maybe I should start my own thread...
