FLAC Compression Question
Does the level or amount of compression in anyway effect the sound quality of the ripped track, or will the song sound the same no matter what level of compression is selected? Blessings, Brian To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: FLAC Compression Question
The sound will not differ, and the resulting .wav file when converted will not lose out. It's just a matter of file size and time taken to compress it. Matthew To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

That was the way I understood it, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks.

Re: Rules for Naming Ripped Files
There are no specific rules. Realize that the free database that EAC uses does not have information on some albums. The commercial CDDB database that Winamp and iTunes use can be accessed using the .player program. And exported as an .ini file that can be imported into EAC. From experience, I have found a few conventions that work for me as a screen reader user. I have EAC create one folder for each disc ripped. The default is to create a folder for the artist and then for the disc. I place the artist name first in the folder name followed by the album name. Sometimes with an artist of many albums I place the year between the artist name and the album name. For albums with multiple CD’s, I create one folder for the album and a folder for each CD with the artist and album name followed by the CD number. If I simply labeled it CD1, the folder could not be identified easily if it were separated from the album folder, such as with a portable media player. I follow a different naming convention for each track, to ensure the tracks appear in the same order as they do on the album, I enable EAC to number each track with single digit numbers beginning with a zero, such as 01, 012 and so forth. This is followed by the track name only. As a screen reader user, I find it frustrating to listen to the album and artist name on an album folder I have already accessed. These practices are similar to those used by many who rip albums.

Since EAC allows complete customization of ripped file names, one could put the Artist, Song Album Titles, as well as track number in any order, as well as use different characters to separate the info. This is why I'm looking to see if there is any rules or naming conventions out there that would speed the processes up. Any and all thoughts or help will be greatly appreciated.

RE: Rules for Naming Ripped Files
Thanks Kelly. This gives me a good reference point, and I wasn't aware that you could import those files into EAC.

Selecting Songs In ITunes
How does one go about selecting songs in ITunes? I haven't been able to figure out how to select a group of continuous songs i.e.. one after another, or non-continuous songs. The help file isn't clear, and there doesn't seem to be any type of help for JFW 11 and ITunes in the popular applications section. It would be nice to be able to make my selections at once, instead of having to go a song at a time.
