When I last sync'd my iPhone 3G, it took over 24 hours. I now believe this was largely because I was using an attached storage device with PC type formatting, and that OS X doesn't handle that efficiently for syncing operations which I guess rely on the OS X filesystem journaling feature.
Syncing my iPhone 6S Plus took an hour or two, but that was copying "50G" of music. Syncing is now much nicer too, especially in that you can select individual albums. I thought I selected about 30 albums but they took 50G of storage. I will need to check this out. I would think an uncompressed CD would require 0.5G of storage on average, so 50G would store 100 albums.
I will not ever store lossy compressed music, which is garbage IMO.
Unfortunately, that's the only choice Apple gives me other than the original files. The best quality compressed format that can be done on-the-fly is AAC 256.
What they really should be able to do is convert to ALAC (if not FLAC) on the fly, so I could have ALAC on the phone and keep my universal AIFF files on the Mac.
