Notes:
The USB audio interface currently supports the following compressed formats: MP3, AAC, WAV/PCM, WMA, M3U. WAV files are not supported in playlists.
However, MP3 with high bitrate may be good enough. Want to get as close to CD quality as possible, and since the hard drive I ordered is 120gb, I have plenty of room. Is there an advantage of AAC or any of the other supported compression technologies over MP3?
Both WMA and AAC provide higher sound quality at equivalent bit rates than MP3. So using WMA or AAC will save you space or gain you sound quality versus MP3.
