The only reason to convert is because Squeezebox can natively decode FLAC while WMAL needs to be decoded on the server. For an older server, this may present too much stress.

If so then for all practical purposes, these should be "transparent" and indistinguishable from the original CD. If you "upsampled" lower bitrate files to this higher rate then they are no better sonically -- and maybe worse -- than they were at the original bitrate. > Should I just start again? > I'd think for sure you should re-rip into FLAC any CDs you originally encoded at 128 kbps. As for your iTunes library, see my comment above. > is there any way I can ever get my encrypted tracks put of itunes? > Probably not. You could burn them to CDs and then re-rip them in FLAC and there would be no quality loss from what they are now. > can I caputure the artwork that I have in iTunes? > http://code.google.com/p/itsfv/ -- Apesbrain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79122 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
