Re: [Phys-l] iPod music compression



One nice feature in iTunes is that if you are connected to the Internet when you read a cd, the computer will automatically go to a source of information about titles, artists, dates, etc, and put that information with the cd description when you rip it.

Answering some of Anthony's questions...

With modern CDs that have text data in addition to music data, when you
load the CD into iTunes it reads the composer, album title, artist,
recording date, track titles, genre, etc. These also download into the
iPod. Then, when you listen to the iPod, you can choose to listen to a
particular album, or a particular artist, or a particular genre. It's
really quite wonderful.
