The person I was responding to was making MP3s because thier CD player
didn't work with the digital out they have. He has the CD, or at least he
does in his example, and was talking about making MP3s to make the tracks
into files his digital worked out with. I was suggesting he make .wavs
*instead* to preserve the sound quality.
I was not suggesting he make MP3s from the CD, and then convert the MP3s to
.waves. That would be very stupid, while hogging tons of space, taking a
long time, and giving the same crap quality as MP3s do.

Are we absolutely sure of this? Because I know that Winamp's volume control
works on CDs independently of the Windows Audio Mixer's CD audio level. Also
one time I forgot to put the CD audio cable back inside my computer (the one
that runs from CDROM to sound card) and I could play CDs in Winamp, and not
in Windows CD player. This would suggest that Winamp was exracting the files
digitaly, since the pass through method could not work.

"Let me explain a couple of things. Time is short. That's the
first thing. For the weasel, Time is a weasel. For the hero,
Time is heroic. For the whore, Time is just another trick.
If you're gentle, your Time is gentle. If you're in a hurry,
Time flies. Time is a servant, if you are its master. Time
is your god, if you are its dog. We are the creators of Time,
the victims of Time, and the killers of Time. Time is timeless.
That's the second thing. You are the clock, Cassiel."
