I'd never heard of rzip until you mentioned it, but (using the default compression for all three commands) there isn't a lot of difference in the file size. 25579480 acid-boys-t1.wav 24329347 acid-boys-t1.wav.gz 23326313 acid-boys-t1.wav.rz 23306444 acid-boys-t1.wav.bz2 Thanks for the information. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It's looks pretty good, especially for removing "ticks and scratches", but I did the recording on a Mac that already had Audacity installed then copied the WAVE files onto a Debian box for burning and mp3-encoding. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

How good is the inverse function (ripping the CD tracks back to WAV)? Is there any loss of information in burning the files to CD? Is there any reason to keep the WAV files themselves backed up?

If you want to keep the wav files around, you'll almost certainly want to compress them; if you want to keep them accessible for playing, I suggest flac, but if not you may want to consider rzip instead of gzip or bzip2. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
