I am not sure I grasped the main question -- I am myself challenged -- but to the following is impossible:
if, as the reviewer says, there is no drop in quality from redbook CD, (...) the files in question are MP3...
Your reviewer is aurally challenged.
Stereo Cd is 1,411kbps while mp3 is 128kbps; no way they sound the same.
Yianni is about the best you can do musically on basic mp-3. For orchestral, even at 256 the result is poor.

Downloading files onto an ipod & listening is easily done... i.e. as you described it, no more no less. You can use the output of the i-pod for the main system. The only thing is the actual sound. Irrespective of how bad you expect it to sound, it will. Stick to the ipod. You can use a type of file called "aiff" which works with i-tunes, but it's about as big as a cd anyway.


On the other hand, downloading mp-3 is nice & fast! Imagine, it could easily take you ½ a day to download in 1411 what you can get in mp-3 form in an hour. Regards
