Hey, everybody.
I don't really know if anybody here is an audiophile like I am, but hopefully you can help me.
SO!
Recently I've upgraded my personal listening setup for my iPod. I have a brand new set of cans that I'm burning in now, Grado SR325is, and I picked up this cool little portable headphone amp called the FiiO E7. So I kind of want to upgrade my sound a bit.
In this way, I've been toying with the idea of making a new iTunes library specifically for lossless quality music. (I always use lossless audio on my Cowon, but iPod is way more convenient, even though it doesn't sound as good.)For anybody who doesn't know what lossless audio is, basically it's music, or digital audio that sounds a lot richer and fuller, but takes a TON of space on your computer. (To put this in perspective, normal songs bought from the iTunes market take around 256 KB of space per song, while a lossless file, ONE SONG, takes 60-80 MB.)
Anyhow, I was wondering if this second library is a good idea, and how would I create and maintain 2 separate libraries. Has anybody else done this? (FYI: I was planning on buying a new iPod Classic as well.)
