It is pretty good at knowing how to transcode audio to cdda. If you have an iPod and don't want to put RockBox on it, mp3 and m4a are your only choices. That said, keep it in m4a as there will be a reduction of quality in any lossy format (mp3, ogg, etc). -- ...."Have you mooed today?"... Attachment:
