Really, you shouldn't have to specify a bitrate -- one usually specifies a bitrate when lossy encoding is being done, to give the encoding software a target data rate to aim for when squeezing and partially throwing away musical information. If something in the ripping software you're using is requiring that you specify a bitrate, something may be set up incorrectly such that the software isn't operating with the assumptions you desire. Having said that, uncompressed CD data's bitrate can be referred to (and is, by SlimServer) as "1411kbps CBR". ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] What bitrate satisfies the 44.1Hz sample rate?
My understanding of this part of digital music is very shallow, so bear with me if I'm off base with the question in part or completely. I know that redbook CDs are sampled at 44.1Hz. When I rip these to a lossless format, I presume I'm getting the full information from the original sampling. But I assume that an inadequate bitrate will degrade the listening experience. So, my question is: What bitrate do I need to rip at to get the full benefit of lossless ripping of a standard 44.1Hz redbook cd?
