I guess I should do a little more investigating but something struck me odd this morning.

A couple days ago, I installed the latest itunes on my computer. I was scratchin' my head when I couldn't find and option for converting files. Where the drop down was in previous versions (Importing...what type, wav, mp3, aac, etc) there wasn't a similar option to convert.

So, I tried to convert a cd i had just bought. When I right clicked, it asked if i wanted to save as AAC. I did because most of my stuff is higher quality mp3 or AAC.

Put that disc on my phone this morning and started listening. Intermittent drops in audio. I must say that this is the first time I listened to audio on the phone so I wasn't sure what was up.

I had another album that I know was converted to mp3. I played a couple songs off of that. No dropout of audio.

Then, I went back to the new cd (aac files). I was living with the dropouts but then, the sprint media player stopped. it was showing that it was still playing but it wasn't. Hit the pause button and hit it again to play. Song went to the beginning. this was after about 4 minutes of AAC file playing.

Switched to Windows Media Player. Almost the exact same thing happened. The only other issue was that as I got off the bus and got to work, WMP stopped playing the file and I couldn't hit any button to get out of the player. I had to soft reset.

I am using Juicy's 2.2 Sprint ROM. I am guessing that it's maybe an issue with playing AAC files? I've been a faithfull user of itunes since it came out on PC. I've never had a problem with it but if it indeed is not allowing me to import to other than AAC, I may switch media players on my computer.
