At least do AIFF if you want a raw file, but really, if you have iTunes you can do Apple Lossless and get the same quality as a WAV/AIFF with about half the space requirement.

Unless you have "golden ears" and need to make sure you hear the sounds above 25KHz or below 16Hz (like a dog) there's no reason to worry about totally lossless files. Encode at 320Kbps with MP4 and you'll be fine. Most mere mortals with the human range of hearing can't tell the difference between an uncompresses sound file and a file compressed at 160Kbps MP4... However, you're probably special.

Tell me, can you see in the infrared and ultraviolet, too?]]>Dec 12th 2007 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/as jesse mentioned try flac, you won't be dissapointed and your harddisk thanks you ;)]]>Dec 12th 2007 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/
Anyway, DRMed 192kbps wma, if it is CBR, is too low quality for me (I have done casual and extremely tedious listening test). I'd be happy if they dished out 256kbps VBR mp3 though :)]]>Dec 12th 2007 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/Dec 12th 2007 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/Dec 12th 2007 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/Dec 12th 2007 2:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/Dec 12th 2007 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/
Look, Apple's having a hard time convincing me to buy the EMI "plus (non-DRM) tracks instead of just buying CDs and ripping myself, because I like to have the security of the physical media, come what may to my hard disk.

You're going to have a hell of a time selling this crap to ANYONE.]]>Dec 12th 2007 3:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/
But you're too trigger-happy to read and prefer to make yourself look stupid by bitching, right?]]>Dec 12th 2007 3:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/

A more salient criticism of "Comes With Music", more than anything else, is SELECTION. When I checked out Vongo, it blew me away that they had a "rotating" selection, and that movies came and went away. The idea Nokia's "Comes With Music", might be a glorified promotional tool for a Universal Music Group and a "healthy" selection of less-than-popular artists, is revolting. Until Universal or Nokia says, "Sure! All the artists will be in there" and "Yep! We're adding more labels every few months!" It's going to look like a joke to me. I just downloaded Led Zepplin's Kashmere the other day on iTunes WiFi, on a whim. Even if I have to pay 99 cents, I'd prefer that to all the free songs in the world I don't want. --Sorry, 50 cent, I don't listen to you.]]>Dec 12th 2007 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/
You will have to pay to listening to your music or something like that???...
if so.. "Comes With Music" should be "Comes With Sh!t" (after one year, of course).]]>Dec 14th 2007 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/-Steve Jobs]]>Dec 12th 2007 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/nokia-comes-with-music-tracks-are-192kbps-and-128kbps/Dec 12th 2007 12:38PM
