MP3 is actually not "open" in the sense of free. The MP3 format is patented and subject to license restrictions.
When I decided to rip my collection, I debated between FLAC and WMAL. I settled on the latter because I was using Sonic Foundry Vegas to make mixes at the time, and it read WMAL files directly. Now that reason isn't so important, but I see no need to transcode. - Jeff -- JSonnabend ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JSonnabend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28267 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
