FLAC support in Apple Ipods?

sunjay

Hi,

Friend of mine has got a Apple IPod Photo 60GB and he wans to know if it's possible in anyway to hack/modify/patch his IPod so that he can play FLAC files. Even better, play loads more files like m4p, ram, mpeg2 etc.

Cheers!

Nope. Why would someone interested in quality audio have purchased a shiny shiny ipod in the first place?

Have him get his money back and recommend he buy the Cowan X5 instead; it supports FLAC.

i dun think there hav been any mods for ipods made for flac 2 date (i've got 1 myself)

flac on an ipod a bit unecessary
the hardware itself isnt dat gud -lyk if u reeli want sound quality dat gud, u mite as well carry around a dektop wiv a creative sound card innit
2ndly, flac files r still massive - round 18megs a song. wiv that size, the ipod will fill its cache lyk every 10 mins nd the bat lyf will go down to lyk 3 hours

if your friend does want high qualit audio just try using aac 320kbps wiv vbr turned on..yeah its slightly lossy but unless ur using state of the art hardware, u won't reeli b able 2 tell the difference
