I've been lurking on this site and I'm about to take the squeezebox plunge, but a couple of nagging questions keep running through my mind. First let me state that sound quality is very important to me. That being said I really love how much more of my music I found myself listening to when I have all my cd's loaded into 2 large changers. I consider the squeezebox the next evolutionary step (I've also contemplated the sonos system), for accessing and distributing all my music. My question is this...with memory being so cheap, why would I want to rip my cd's to one of the lossless formats as opposed to just ripping them as is. I use a computer all the time but certainly am no hacker, and it seems that there is a lot of work involved. Am I missing something or would it not just be easier to buy twice as large a hard drive, rip full strength, download info via cddb/gracenote or similar and be done. Won't this give me the artist/album /song info I'll need to do various sorts. thanks for any insights/advice, tod
I may be wrong but I believe there's no tagging standard for WAV files. Modern computers are so fast in compressing and decompressing that there is really no downside to using FLAC. After you've set up EAC with FLAC support inserting the CD's and starting the ripping process is all the work you have to do whether you rip to WAV, FLAC or MP3.
