Point is the iPod's sonics just aren't good enough to tell the difference through my $20 JVC Marshmallows (which are awesome considering the price). Ditch those iBuds ASAP.
Hey Slosh, are you saying that you can rip MP3s at 245kb on Media Monkey and then sync those files onto your iPod using iTunes?
