Welcome! Now...onto business. Everyone (EVERYONE!) is going to tell you that FLAC is the only solution. I now rip FLAC and mp3 (using LAME) at the same time. It's really impossible for me to hear any difference on my system (YMMV, as they say). If you are interested in my mp3 settings (I use RazorLame): "-b 160 -m s -h -V 0 -B 320" This creates files that are about 5x compressed, but they are very high quality. O.k., that's my advice...now bring on the FLACkers! p.s. forgot to mention, I use EAC for ripping and making FLAC files (and pretty much everyone else here will tell you the same). -- ezkcdude To be determined... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ezkcdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2545 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21883 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
