Size absolutely not an issue. My Rio Receivers are entirely
network-based (ie they play music from a server, no local storage). My
iPod has 60Gb, so really not fussed about storage space. Everything I've
ripped over the last 5 years only totals 9.3Gb.

Quality is a big issue for me. I used to be a classical recording
engineer, and got the hifi bug.

However, compatibility is the biggest issue. Hence, MP3.
