Already have Max and it is a good product. Rip is closer to what I think beginners need but it is still in Beta and got track lengths wrong for one CD I tried (each track finished playing 15s before the end as shown on the time-line in SqueezeCenter - I did not know this could even happen. Max did a perfect rip on the same CD). I have standardised on FLAC as my archive format because I suspect it will become or already is the main lossless download format. I then use Max to derive Apple Lossless files. A bit inefficient perhaps and most definitely not a way of working I would recommend to our beginner. I am hedging my bets at the moment, as they say. -- dBerriff iMac/iTunes, Apple TV, AVI ADM9.1 active speakers, Boom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dBerriff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12247 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67637 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
