I own an iPod and I use MP3's ripped to alt--preset-standard. Probably the best ripper is EAC http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ which is free, but sadly not available for linux. By default I think EAC rips in secure mode which can be very slow. Select fast mode and EAC rips as fast as any ripper. > as it's more versatile and you won't be locked in to Apple hardware. The Agreed, it's easy to find a DVD, CD, car stereo player or personal stereo player that supports MP3. Almost every player that supports compressed audio codecs supports MP3. > reason that iTunes is likely ripping so quickly as it's not taking its time > to properly encode. iTunes can also rip in secure mode, which naturally slows it down, but secure mode is not the default. It is possible to get very high quality rips with iTunes. SR
