[QUOTE="[DT], post: 6682472, member: 619037"] Generally, direct connect IPOD setups via USB are sending a bitstream that has to be handled (decoded) by the HU, so there has to be specific format compatibility. I notice the CD5030 on both the Crutch and the Eclipse site indicate no AAC compatibility. Even the encoding is usually specific, like my X100 indicates 320Kbps for MP3, 576 for AAC, etc. Though I was pretty stoked to learn recently that it also supports Apple Lossless. If you want to avoid conversion swap it out, but like the folks above said, it's not a huge thing. Plus there are some good apps to do bulk conversion. [/QUOTE]
