I'm not sure, I don't use WMA. 800-900 kbps does sound like lossless though. I do know with MP3 you can't use an arbitrary bitrate, you have a pre-described set to choose from (i.e. you can use 128 kbps but not 132.) > If I want to stick with my Ubuntu machine, do I have any workarounds > other than re-ripping *lots* of CDs?

Could be, but seeing as WMA means "Windows Media Audio", Microsoft can do what they like with it and the Linux community will have to play catch-up should they change the format. -- Mark Lanctot "It's like, you know, a New Age religion, but with better treble response." - Jon Heal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31933 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
