Re: [Phys-l] iPod music compression

["Anthony Lapinski" <Anthony_Lapinski@pds.org>]

Well, I have few CD's where I like all the songs. Many CD's have only one
song I like. So I imagine transferring maybe 4,000 songs or so. Not
exactly sure. I have an iBook G4 with iTunes. If I load a CD, can songs be
simply transferred to an iPod? I heard a few people mention the AAC
format. Will the songs be automatically put in this format? I don't fully
understand this formatting thing. Does the computer or the iPod do it?
