The full version you get Allmusic.com and 2 or three other metadata providers that include album art. It's very good and you can either let it do it's thing or change stuff before the rip. It's totally accurate so you don't have to worry about listening to all the songs to make sure. It will give you the access numbers after you register. Once you start using FLAC you will see the advantage of using tags. As far as future proof, FLAC being lossless is easy to convert to any other type of your choice. It's the best way of storing your music. You save space, make streaming better and get the advantage of good tagging. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51203 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
