It seems that although ALAC files are supposedly 3 times higher quality than mp3, they also take up much more memory

@purplephish20 Of course they are, it's a LOSSLESS codec. mp3 is lossy, and therefore always going to be smaller.

@toksyuryel im just wondering exactly HOW MUCH more space they will use on my ipod
Friday, 20-Apr-12 00:11:48 UTC from web-
@purplephish20 Tons more. Even a 320kbps mp3 will be many times smaller than ANY lossless codec.

@purplephish20 The real question here is not how ALAC compares to mp3, but rather how ALAC compares to FLAC.

@widget I was wondering how they compared on compression actually; if they aren't exactly the same on quality something is very wrong.
