Curious about your views on sound quality and cpu load.

My vinyl and CD rips are all in Apple Lossless and sound great. No problems with my iTunes purchases either. I struggle to hear a difference between the two sometimes.

The only problem with sound quality comes from my record pool downloads, which are meant to be 320kbps but some of them don't sound nice at all. I wish they could provide lossless downloads.

I might be mistaken but don't lossless formats use less CPU because they don't need to be decoded?

Curious to know the answer myself too.

Generally 320kbps mp3, I'll get uncompressed if available.
