I finally decided to dump all my low- quality mp3 and AAC files from itunes.  37 gigs gone.  Wiped to zero and slowly rebuilt.  Of course I kept my purchased music and a few albums that I no longer own.  The rest is all coming in as apple lossless (for ipod compatibility).  I also own some DVD Audio which I've been converting to a lossless format using Audio Hijack Pro.  Of course, the powebook 12" converts all digital audio (either by up- or down-sampling) to 16 bit using the built in hardware. The goal now is to avoid the built in audio hardware and use a 24/96 or 24/192 firewire audio device.  Is it possible to get surround sound on my powerbook? Suggestions?  I've been looking at the M-Audio Firewire 410.  I was considering the mbox2 but it only has 24/48 output. 1:43:59 AM  comment []  Google It!
