What Apple means is you can rip your music in a fabulous VBR mode, which clearly is a progress in sound quality. For the theory contact the Fraunhofer Inst. in Germany. Kind Regards from Germania haiku

It`s a myth..... :-) Kind Regards

Very cool, Chris!<br /> What do you think about the Aura stuff?<br /> <br /> Kind Regards

:-)

Now I`ve got it.<br /> Thank you very much! :-)<br /> <br /> Kind Regards

it would, Peter.<br /> Perhaps you could explain just a bit more, please. I`m really interested!<br /> I understand that you say a lossless format is NOT a lossy format, but according to this here article IT IS. That`s also what I think. But then what you write makes no sense....<br /> Maybe I still don`t get your point, please help me again! :-(<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

why your Macbook is having those problems, but I`ve ripped a few hundred CDs and not once had problems with it. I don`t think it`s a matter of having a Macbook, Pro or Unibody.....

but in which book can I get all the information? So far, I`ve got only your opinion, but thanx anyway! :-)<br /> I gather it`s not that easy to understand if you look at the posts from Idolse, yourself and me.<br /> Maybe we should start a thread about it?<br /> What makes me wonder, doesn`t Chris have any opinion about it? Chris, please.......!<br />

Guys Apple sells a product to get rid of every kind of dirt and colouration. It`s called iKlear and it`s very, very good. Highly recommended. Kind Regards :-)

The bit about VBR makes sense now. Thank you! :-)<br /> But I still don`t get your explanation about lossless.<br /> You say VBR is a lossy technique, but then you say ALL lossless formats are CBR.<br /> ?????<br /> <br /> By the way, I thinks it`s very interesting that Apple claims VBR to be of higher audio quality then CBR, when the iTunes+ files are all CBR, according to the guys on Hydrogen Audio.<br /> <br /> What`s your opinion, Idolse?

you know what you`re talking about?<br /> <br /> http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Variable_Bitrate<br /> <br /> Hmmmmm.....

No one mentioning CBR vs VBR?<br /> Is it not worth it, Chris???<br /> <br /> Kind Regards

this site for a couple of months now and let me say this: I`m really sorry it`s gone so wrong and IMO it`s a pity that so many will be driven away by the audiophile neurosis that has all but bankrupted this Industry.

I`ve watched the vid about the Dynaudio speakers. IMO most of the series is underpowered while 200 watts for the tweeters of the top speakers doesn`t make much sense, either. But I might be wrong.... Oh, and by the way Happy New Year!!!! :-)

you`re right absolutely!! My White Macbook is the third notebook I own and it`s opened a whole new world to me. Ashley James form AVI has given me the tip and I cannot thank him too much for it. For me the Macbook is a dream come true. I`ve never enjoyed music more or surfing the internet or working with iPhoto etc, etc..... I`ve become an Apple addict, too. By now I own an iPod Touch 2G, Classic, Shuffle and it`s so much fun. This world is great!!! :-))
