I am sorry for asking the dumbest question ever, but my bro gave me his old 30 gig Ipod.

Everything I have is ripped into WMA lossless. The files are clearly too large, and the format is wrong.

Do I duplicate everything into itunes? Or run something like rockbox?

Thanks!

I think you can just drag and drop WMA Lossless into iTunes. It will want to convert them into either AAC or Apple Lossless. Whether you want to keep copies as WMA Lossless or switch to Apple Lossless is up to you...

Note that I have never done this and cannot vouch for it actually working. But it's probably worth a try.

LOL sounds too easy. Ill try it tonight.

I have imported huge AIFF song files into iTunes no problem. I'm not really familiar with WMA but it should drag into iTunes. iTunes simply creates a link to where it can access the song if it's already on your hardrive. I think. And I believe that whatever they're in on your hard drive is how they are copied to the iPod, as my AIFF files take up a whole lot of room on the iPod. I know that iTunes used to (maybe still does) convert everything to AAC or MP3/4, whatever they're calling it now, when burned to a CD from iTunes. I ended up buying a program called Toast to burn CDs because of this.

I don't generally use iTunes to burn, but I think you can specify which format you want to burn. I know you can burn a redbook CD from lossy files using iTunes because my sister gave me one recently (bleah).

.... trade in for a zune?
