Thanks for analyzing the files! I did attempt to use AccurateRip for both of the different CD rips, but it ended up not being a match and it suggested that perhaps I had a different press of the CD. I do have a log for the rips and I will post them in a bit. I was at my parents' house and tried to rip a different album altogether (since I only had one CD there) and the rips actually ended up coinciding with an uploaded flac (the source that I've been getting all these downloaded flacs from) in terms of size and compression. Now that I am home, I'm going to perform the same rip on my computer and see what I come up with! Will let you guys know! -- nelce ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nelce's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91402 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
