My collection has been in a state of flux for years. I started with 192K MP3 and now am half 192K and half VBR extreme EAC/LAME or whatever (ave 250K). FLAC is common enough and disk space cheap enough now that I'm going to start re-ripping (some for the third time) my collection. As you know, you don't have to have the same quality across the board and you can probably rip your favorite CDs in a single evening and take your time from there. I know because I've done 50 an evening before (2 PCs running). I'll probably pick favorites and then any disc that I can tell has a quality issue. I've found that with VBR, I don't have a system that can demonstrate differences from CD, so I'm ok for now. I plan to upgrade my system significantly, so we'll see what happens then. -- thomsens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thomsens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1352 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21173 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
