Double or Triple Your Ipod’s Capacity With High Efficiency AAC

I got my first ipod two months ago and in fact it was my first mp3 player ever. Shocking for hard core geek right? Well I bought my wife her own ipod a number of years ago but was never able to really afford a second one so I became victim of ‘what cd do i want to bring with me today?’. Over time many of my cds became scratched and dirty from piling up in the center console of my car and I longed for my own portable music device that I could carry around my entire music collection without worry. When the device of my destiny arrived in the mail from my parents for my birthday you can imagine my excitement to immediately cram as much crap on it as I could. I was having a blast until…. I ran out of space. I had only gotten maybe a third of what I really wanted on there but it was all that 8 gigabytes could stand. To put this into perspective I have a 500Gb usb hard drive which houses my archived collection so you can imagine cherry picking that down to 8Gb is an excercise in futility.
