Schindler >>> I only got into ripping CDs and playing with SB3 recently. I did like you - ripped everything to MP3. Seemed good for simple pop and folk. But tried the Bach B minor Mass - Arrrgggghh!!!!
So I discovered the hard way that the more complex - soudwise - the music is, the more you notice the degredation due to MP3 compression. So I bit the bullet, and did the only thing possible - installed EAC (follow the instructions in the Wiki - they're good); ripped the whole collection - again :( - to FLAC; installed MP3tag (a must for classical), and did yet another round of serious learning about some complex but very powerful software. Result - stunning reproduction of the most complex music, from big rock bands to Bach solo violin sonatas. FLAC files via slimserver and SB3 now sound pretty much like playing the original CDs. Go for it!
