The issue with transcoding is that it compounds compression artifacts, but with FLAC, there ain't no such artifacts, so regardless of the semantics of whether or not we call it transcoding, going from FLAC to WMA is no worse than just ripping to WMA. -- TiredLegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TiredLegs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24987 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
