[X4U] Re: Rip It Up - iTunes Import Setting Survey

revDave, helpfully, gave an "all other":

>-  Any other considerations that you might think of ...

One consideration very close to my heart at the moment stems from the 
fact, like it or not, that our iTunes settings (and how we use other 
"multimedia" tools as well) may have to be geared to the audio file's 
usability to "others" (you know who).

I'm in the middle/muddle right now of getting settings right for 
cross-platform purposes. That is, encoding lengthy audio files 
that'll be easily playable and as widely as possible on Windows 
machines and various stand-alone CD players. I found that once you go 
past private consumption, it's a whole new kettle of worms (or do I 
mean barrel of fish?).

Not so fast. Plain old, plain old uncompressed files are not too much 
trouble. But I'm talking about dealing in this way with MP3 stuff. 
(Why not use uncompressed DVD? Because I don't want a recipient 
without DVD capability to get mad at me.)

I wonder who else might have stumbled onto this shore awash in 
slithering worms and pale-at-the-gills fish.
