For starters I would change from WAV to FLAC. Wav has very limited meta data (or tag) handling, Flac is much more robust in this. don't worry about loosing quality, FLAC stands for Free *Lossless* Audio Codec.
as you are using dbpoweramp, you can use the batch converter to compress to FLAC without having to re-rip. If you do this, there will be the option to change the compression "quality", it isn't really the quality it's changing (with FLAC everything is lossless), it's just how aggressive it will try and compress things. the difference in compression ration between 1 and 8 isn't a great deal, probably less than 10%, but the amount of time taken to process goes up dramatically from 1 to 8. I usually compress at level 8 because I have a fast PC and I'm only going to do it one so it really isn't an issue, and with 1,600 CDs even a few percent better compression makes a difference :) -- funkstar my collection: *1*x squeezebox radio *1*x squeezebox touch *1*x squeezebox boom *2*x controller, *1*x receiver *2*x sb3 (sliver/black), *1*x sb2 wired (silver) *1*x sb (black), *1*x slimp3 (with rear shield) interested in any others if you have them! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68255 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
