Really, you shouldn't have to specify a bitrate -- one usually specifies a bitrate when lossy encoding is being done, to give the encoding software a target data rate to aim for when squeezing and partially throwing away musical information. If something in the ripping software you're using is requiring that you specify a bitrate, something may be set up incorrectly such that the software isn't operating with the assumptions you desire. Having said that, uncompressed CD data's bitrate can be referred to (and is, by SlimServer) as "1411kbps CBR". _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
