Hello all, I don't know if this is my first post/thread and it is actually quite curious to be a frequent reader of this site and my first post is not regarding John Williams but I really need your help and advice. I have finally exceeded the space of my ipod classic. And I need to know what would be the best way to get free space while having the best possible aural experience and still the same content since I can't yet decide which album I should delete. I use iTunes for ripping my CDs and I store them as MP3 320 kBit/s. So, my question is, will it have any influence on the sound quality when I reduce the kbit/s to 256 or 224? With which kBit/s will the reduced sound quality begin? And what does VBR mean? Would it be sufficient if I change my 320 kBit/s to 320 kBit/s VBR? Although it seems that I can't convert 320 kBit/s to 320 kBit/s VBR in iTunes. Or does somebody know how I can do it? Well, I am really curious about your suggestions and learning to know how you store your music for listening purposes. And I hope that I did not choose the wrong possibility to store my music so that I don't need to redo everything again. I'm looking forward hearing your suggestions. Peter
