Wow, we went almost 48 hours without anybody noticing (or, presumably, caring). Apple may have changed their code, which would mean WE'D have to change OUR code. I'll try to look at this before next Sunday (or talk Aaron into looking at it).
EDIT: Oh, look, Aaron's on the board but not on AIM again. :)

Reposted on: 17.1.13 1338.58 | I have a couple of stupid iTunes questions, so they might as well go here. If I import a CD that has 400-700 MB of music into iTunes, what happens to the data? Does it get compressed? Can I access it whenever I want?
I only use iTunes as a glorified CD player, and I've been hesitant to import CDs because that's a big chunk of space on my harddrive for "Jamie's Cryin". | CRZ

MP3s/AACs (about a meg per minute) are usually about a tenth the size of a comparable WAV (about 10 megs per minute) so as long as you import them as MP3/AACs you should have the space.
Other people may disagree, but importing as a 128K AAC (.m4a) is probably your best space/sound tradeoff - especially if the speakers you're using aren't so to begin with anyway. | Guru Zim

Reposted on: 17.1.13 1406.22 | | It will convert the files into Apples compressed audio format, if you don't make any other changes to iTunes. These files are usually under 5 megs per song, when compared to the 30-50 megs for the source .wav files. You won't be taking up 400-700 megs on your system for each album - probably around 50-75 each. | Guru Zim
