I listen to most all of my music through iTunes via a Mac Mini in my entertainment system. Most of my songs are in MP3, either 160 or 192 kbps. Now that I have some REAL speakers, I'm thinking of re-importing my CDs in a higher quality format. iTunes offers Apple Lossless (which sounds very proprietary) and VBR (variable bit-rate) at up to ...

I'm going to see Herbie Hancock in Southern Oregon at the Britt Festival in a couple weeks. He's playing with Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland AND Brian blade. If you like rock, you have to check out ...
