indeed. and perhaps you shouldn't be illegally downloading music in the first place....
the only way to get true lossless is to encode it directly from the CD...
and for an iPod Lossless not only kills your battery life, it also is pointless. the headphones you're likely to be using with your iPod will probably be a bigger factor in how it sounds than the bit rate on the iPod. even making 'em 192 or 320 AAC will see a much better result. and if you would rotate your movies instead of keeping them all on there that would help a bit too...
I bet my dad can kick your dad's ass.Dads got a 1.*TB server Xserve, we have the new imac duo or whatever with 500gb inbuilt and 500gb external. I have all my songs and stuff on my 180gb comp.
Crazy in that he only has 80 GB? My home directory is 68 GB by itself ... I had to move it to an external drive because the internal wouldn't hold it. 68 GB is small potatoes from seeing other people on the forums thoughYou filled an 80gig?? Thats just crazy....

It doesn't take much to fill a hard drive. iTunes and movies don't take long to fill up the space.
Isn't keeping all those movies on your iPod sort of pointless?
I have an 80GB iPod that I typically keep about 4 or 5GB of videos on. That being said, my iTunes library has over 180GB of videos... I just transfer to my iPod when I know I'm going to be watching something specific.
I don't know why this thread was revived, but...
I don't think there's even any way to hook an Xserve RAID up to an iMac.
