For me the number one criteria for buying an iPod is audio quality. Some people will go for looks, size, or battery life, but for me it’s simply a matter of which iPod sounds the best – not just through the headphones but also into my stereo.
This article discusses the reasons for the difference in quality of the sound output of the various models of iPods and iPhones, which iPod sounds the best, and why.

This article describes how to import songs into iTunes with the better quality bitrate.

-V 9 –vbr-new -mm -h -q 0
2. An even better option than above but slightly more complicated is:
Firstly convert the file to 22khz sample rate and mono, (eg in Audacity)
then use the following LAME settings:
-V 8 –vbr-new -h -q 0

Just found this software.
It’s great. It allows you to slow down music, keeping the pitch the same. There’s lots of software that will do this but this is well implemented with lots of nice features, and a good algorithm that sounds good even with big slow downs.
