Re: [PLUG] moving from iTunes to Amarok

[Matthew Rosewarne <mukidohime@case.edu>]

Yeah, pretty much the best advice is to leave it as-is.  I got bitten by this 
same thing when I originally switched to Linux, as I had been using crazy 
formats that would play in Winamp 2 with all sort of plugins, but at that 
time would just not work on linux.  After some experimentation, I found it 
easier in the long run to store things in a lossless format (in my case FLAC) 
whenever possible, since it can be turned into anything else should the need 
arise, which it has from time to time.  Eventually the (thoroughly 
outstanding) Rio Karma came out which supports FLAC, so it replaced my laptop 
as my music player of choice.  It's no longer made, but FLAC has become the 
most widely accepted lossless codec for pretty much any audio player not made 
by Apple.
