Can I suggest, if you don't *need* to use WMP, you junk it in favour of a proper ripper? EAC is free and will do it's utmost to rip your disc securely, including working on the frames of tracks that cause this clicking sort of effect on rips? WMP and iTunes just don't rip as well. dBpoweramp is also superb, but costs.
I would, if you don't need WMP, rip to FLAC format for use on your Squeezebox, and keep an mp3 copy for your iPod. In fact, if you used something like the flac2mp3 script (search the forums - it's a tool that ensures you always have a perfect mirror copy of your flacs as mp3) you could probably set it to output those mp3s to your "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder, then next time you open iTunes they'll be added to your itunes library. Another alternative; MediaMonkey Gold can transcode on the fly, meaning if you add your flac files to it, you can set it to convert them to mp3 on the fly when you connect your iPod. Using iPod doesn't have to mean using iTunes! MediaMonkey Gold is very good, and a superb library manager; again, it costs but I think it's worth it! -- moley6knipe WinXP Pro SP3 > dBpoweramp Reference 13.3 > SqueezeCenter 7.3.4 - 28402 > Squeezebox 3 > ears ------------------------------------------------------------------------ moley6knipe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10014 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73703 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
