Originally posted by vanquish:I was going to say (but got distracted and forgot to complete that sentence) was that Gerard said he could hear the difference and suggested I had bad audio equpment.
All I wanted to do was to explain that lossless does not sound better than hq MP3 enough to justify the vast increase in file sizes. I felt that other posts on the topic I've seen on here, people think it's a night and day difference between MP3, which it's not. I don't mind if people argue with the point as long as they can post reasons or evidence (which wasn't done)
That's was basically all, but yes I'll admit I do tend to get carried away easily.
And Risto, yes you can replace the contents of your MP3 player but I've yet to meet someone who actually bothers to do it. It certainly isn't a simple a solution as just encoding in lossy and having 4 times more space to play with.
All depends on your MP3 encoder too. If you're using LAME (CBR or VBR, doesn't matter) then you're gonna get the best MP3 sound you can technically achieve as opposed to that of iTunes or WMA's ones - which just shouldn't be used for even casual listening.
I have a 32 GB iphone and won't have enough space for just studio recordings (never mind bootlegs) if I use FLAC. And I only have a 16 GB music collection (excluding bootlegs).
I'd personally encode it all in lossless. I have a 16GB collection too but remember it depends on how long some of your songs are making a full album. For example my shortest song is 38 seconds and the longest I think is 59 minutes. So having longer and shorter albums also counts towards that.
And some of the more ambient and orchestra songs would sound great lossless too.
Got wifi working by changing broadcast channel of the router 
Browser is pretty quick. And more apps available of course
