I'm starting with my favorite 500, that I play most often, and anything
new. I don't need everything I own on the computer just to listen to
it once every five years, but - when it is on the computer you can put
it on random a get some cool surprises. I rip using iTunes Lossless,
and anything I want to go to the iPod I convert to AAC as well so it's
smaller - then you make two smart playlists, one that only includes
Lossless for top quality and one that only includes AAC for the iPod.
You can get almost 3 albums in a gig if they aren't modern hour+
things.
