Is anyone actually surprised after U2's endorcement of the iPod?
Not that I mind, while having an actual cd in hand is nice, it is nice to have the choice to download individual songs.
Esp if they release mp3s of all the shows, you can pick and choose the best song from each date and make your own live cd. That is unless they make it so you have to buy the entire cd and can't buy each track seperate.

Whoa! Is this an artist backlash against the music record labels?
A music artist that is releasing live music of their concerts? No bootlegs!
I've noticed that The Who have cds of their concerts, and Queen is coming out with the best "bootlegs" of their concerts. Of course can't forget Pearl Jam who previously released their concert cds.
I wonder who will be next..

in the most recent spin magazine, bono said that the arrangement between apple and u2 involves no money. the ipod add was done for free. apparently, each side figures that their respective exposure is increased by involving the other.

I would prefer a higher bit rate than 128 kbs, (I rip my AAC files at 160 kbs), but in AAC it's probably a decent enough compromise between sound quality and file size.

This discussion always brings out the "can't tell a difference" crowd that listen to music on cheesy headphones or computer speakers. I encourage those people to compare some mp3s to vinyl or cd's on my full JBL MPro/Crown-powered club PA system and then say they still can't hear the difference.

I rip my CDs for my iPod as AAC files at 160kbs, which seems to be a nice compromise between sound quality and file size. I may make adjustments if my brother comes through for me with a pair of Shure E3c earbuds for Christmas.
But I'll never give up listening to my actual discs when it comes to sound quality.

That's what you "audiophiles" don't seem to get. People like music for different reasons. I'm not bothered by having a music file that isn't perfect. I think that the majority of people don't care to, or can't, tell the difference between a 128 ACC file and a WAV file on their everyday stereo. We like it for the music, not the perfection of the sound.
I understand that there are some people who love the perfect sound. If your are one of those then you probably shouldn't care that a live concert is encoded in ACC. It's not like that'll be as perfect sounding as something that comes from a studio recording anyhow. If you love the perfect sound in music than stick with CDs and DVD-A's. iTunes probably isn't your thing.

If you're saying 128kbs AAC doesn't equal 128kbs MP3, you're right. The AAC file will sound way better than the MP3.
