dbpoweramp is probably the best bet for ripping right now. I have not seen a program that does better for metadata than dbpoweramp including getting coverart. And for secure ripping it does a great job. For your needs I would recommend the reference version.
I wish I had dbpoweramp when I started ripping music many years ago! As for FLAC versus ALAC. For sound quality it does not matter one bit. For playback support is where it matters. What will you play the songs back the most on? Squeezebox or iTunes? If Squeezebox use FLAC, if iTunes use ALAC. Since FLAC and ALAC are lossless you can convert between the two whenever you want and not lose any quality. If you have dbpoweramp it is as simple as selecting the folder where you music resides and say convert, it even handles your metadata and coverart. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49492 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
