True. Also, I'd just go with .ogg format because the same file encoded in .ogg 
on my computer took up literally half of the size. I plan on re-encoding all 
of my files to .ogg later, but I don't want to end up having to retag them 
all...

Oops, went a little off-topic there. :P

You should really consider using .ogg though. Or, if you're into lossless, a 
FLAC is fine too.
