I don't know that anybody ever gave it the full sound test run, but now that I have one...

The musicians on the forum seem to like it.

No. The bit rate is just the amount of data available to transmit or store music. Uncompressed music has a bit rate that is stunningly high. I have a WAV sound file that clocks in at 1,536,000 bits per second. It's a perfect recording of a piano. If I wanted to listen to that clip on my iPod or post...

Sooner or later we're going to push you over to Audacity 1.3.12 from 1.2. Audacity 1.2 is no longer supported, patched, or corrected. Did you get a new computer?

somebody knows if Apple is in charge of the conversion from original to encoded files ? You are. Go into iTunes Preferences > CD Import Settings > select a compression scheme. I used AAC Plus. If you import an uncompressed music file, You can select it and Advanced > Create AAC Version. iTunes will...

Macs can be set up to be case aware and case critical like a linux machine, but it's not the default. This came up earlier and I tested it. When you format an external drive, it will ask you if you want it to pay attention to upper case. The default is to not care.

People find they really downloaded and installed a competing product...
