It would be wrong to say that two pass was almost lossless because you're

The purpose of this new feature is to create a data CD for example a

This is what is so good about this site and why you will find quite a few

Hi Kathy,
Don't know for certain this will work but you won't lose anything by trying
it. If you are using XP go into control panel and select sounds and audio
devices. Now tab to speaker volume. Tab once more to advanced and press
enter. If your speaker setup is set to stereo, change it to
The ogg compressionrate and the way it handles its quality is an excelant
alternative to MP3 files. With ogg files you are less likely to find
artifacts in your recordings and this dynamic and vercitile filetype is
small enough to hold high quality recordings using less space than MP3
files.
I've only been using the site around two weeks but I'm fairly sure you can
get those bitrates.
Not sure about the actual price per track, its just so dirt cheap that I
don't pay attention.
I'm in the UK and it works fine, they have the top fifty or whatever for
most main european countries,
Sounds good, how do I set it up?

First, ogg 160 kbps is overkill. that's about like using 256 kbps in mp3.
I'd suggest something lower. Ogg is generally VBR, so you might want to
