Took me 2hrs to convert 2.3GB of music from mp3/wma to ACC, and I cannot tell of a decease in sound quality at all. It really doesn't take that long, and it saved me a bunch of space, that 2.3GB is now just 1.2GB. I didn't use iTunes.

Well, but quality DOES drop, and you'll never be able to restore it. I'm really worried what will become of all the music on people's hard drives 10 years down the road... by then, everybody will have converted their libraries some more times, and it will all be a garbled, artifact-laden mess.

 

 

Yep... if Nintendo really does want to change the audio file standard from MP3 they should choose a lossless format like .flac, .ape, or .shn. Then I would be 100% supportive of not including MP3 support. In that case you could convert your MP3 collection without losing fidelity.
