:q!

I encode my music in ogg 320k or wav. I'd use flac but I have a 20G 
player and don't really care about file size. But even with ear buds you 
can hear the difference between ipods and other units playing 128k mp3s. 
Apple doesn't publish the signal to noise ratio of ipods and it's often 
said to be around 85dB, quite shocking.
