Maximum bitrate supported by iPod Classic?

Feek · 2 Dec 2009 at 20:34

I've bought an album in FLAC which is 24bit 96kHz encoded.

I've converted to WAV, dragged into iTunes and then converted to Apple Lossless, exactly the same as I've done with other FLAC files but when I try to push them out to my iPod I get an error...

"was not copied because the sample rate is not supported by the iPod"

When I look at the bit rate in iTunes it shows between 2300 and 3100 kbps. That's quite high!

Does anyone know what the maximum bit rate is that the iPod Classic supports?

So now I need to find some simple way to convert the sample rate.

iTunes won't do it - Even though I've converted to WAV and imported into iTunes (then converted to Apple lossless) if I try to convert to mp3 it gets arsey and tells me it can't do it.

I guess Audacity will, just a track at a time though. I'd hoped to bulk convert. *kicks Audacity into play*

I'd forgotten about Max! I never reinstalled it after I installed Snow Leopard. That'll do the job perfectly, thanks for the reminder.
