Uh, I didn't write the quoted material above. Rather, Eckhart Koeppen
(eck1000_at_gmx.net) did.
I personally do not have an iPod and have only tried the demo model in a
store. I did not notice the whine. Eckhart has since provided
additional information so I will have to check the iPod out again in the
future to see if I can hear it.
As for encoding MP3 music, I use 256K, True Stereo and 44.1K.
Although, with the iPod's huge storage capacity, assuming a AIFF file (CD
format) is about 10MB per minute, you can store about 8 hours of music.
One of my favorite CD's for checking sound systems is Lee Ritenour's, "On
the Line" album.
I have not tested the iPod with it, but will have to give it a try next
time -- maybe both in AIFF and MP3 format.
