2. Looks like about 200-250, judging from counting a few stacks. |

4. Yeh it's a gigantic iPod which will be obsolete in 8 months, no doubt. |

It took at least a week and a half to do my collection!

7. The CDs are warm when they come out, and the CD drive occasionally makes |
|
a scary rattling noise for a second which then goes away.
I think I need to give it a break after the next 10 or so, LOL.

6. The process is real slow |
|
when you convert the old vinyl to CD's so you can load them to the ipod.
But it's worth the effort.

8. Warning. I recently maxed out my 80gig video iPod |
|
I am now getting a lot of skipping caused by excessive HD accesses. I loaded up with classical music in AIFF format (uncompressed). Result is cache cannot keep up with output. iPod has anti skip error correction for compressed formats (ACC, MP3, WAV). I am going to back off to compressed format and hope to eliminate skipping. Although sound quality will suffer, it's not that I'm pumping the sound into high-end speakers from my iPod. I'll keep a separate iTunes library for that.

for what I use the iPod for, absolute quality is not necessary so I compress my music to 192kbs AAC format.
if I want to be snobby, and audiophilish, I get out the CD and put it in the CD player, and listen to it through the stereo.
After all, it would be a SHAME to listen to compresses music through this stereo and these speakers. There is a very noticeable quality loss.

10. Yeah I'm generally using it at work, where I'm playing it through low rent |
|
speakers or stereos at various locations.
It's not an audiophile type of application.
