+1. I have a 65,000 track collection, rip to FLAC with dbpoweramp, do any cleanup on tags/artwork immediately after ripping with mp3tag, then create a mirror mp3 version of the files for itunes/ipods. SbS seems to handle these just fine and when I rarely have a tag problem it was something I screwed up, and I also use the same flac files in my foobar2000 player on the laptop with no issues. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85771 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
