This is a good idea even if you immediately afterwards convert them to MP3, the reason is that multiple conversions between lossy compressed format will make the music lose more quality than needed. If you keep the lossless copy you will always be able to create a good lossy copy in whatever format you need in the future. You never know what the future will bring, even if you can't hear the difference on the current equipment that might change in a year or two.
You don't want to end up having to re-rip your collection just because you want better quality later and wanted to save some GB of hard drive space. As many others I've been there and done that, it's not fun. Regarding the AB Tester plugin: - It was developed to make it possible to compare different DSP configurations for the Boom. - It can be used to do a ABX test of different file formats, but you will have to edit some XML files manually, see link earlier in this thread. However, as already said, you want to rip to lossless format to be safe for the future and this means that you will have good quality music stored somewhere. In this scenario it doesn't really make sense to feed the Squeezebox with anything else. It makes sense to convert the music for iPod's and other mobile devices where hard drive space is a limiting factor, but for a Squeezebox setup you should use lossless music if you have it. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79558 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
